One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles

  • Author: twiza amys

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 8 oz egg noodles

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley or grated parmesan

Instructions

Step 1: Season the Chicken

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 2: Sear the Chicken

Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and nearly cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Add the Noodles and Broth

Reduce heat to medium. Pour chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add egg noodles, spreading them evenly in the liquid.

Step 4: Simmer Together

Place the chicken back on top of the noodles. Cover and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring noodles occasionally, until noodles are tender and chicken is fully cooked.

Step 5: Finish with Butter

 

Remove chicken and set aside briefly. Stir butter into the noodles until melted and glossy. Return chicken to the pan, spoon noodles over the top, and garnish if desired.

Notes

  • Use a wide skillet for even cooking.

  • Stir noodles occasionally to prevent sticking.

  • Adjust broth if noodles absorb liquid quickly.

  • Chicken thighs provide extra juiciness.
