Looking for a hassle-free dinner that packs a flavor punch? This one-pan dish featuring juicy chicken and creamy buttered noodles will become a weeknight favorite in no time!
One-Pan Chicken with Creamy Buttered Noodles
Ingredients:
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz egg noodles
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
1. Cook the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
2. Prepare the noodles: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
3. Cook the noodles: Stir in the egg noodles and cover the skillet. Allow the noodles to cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they reach the desired tenderness. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Combine ingredients: Once the noodles are cooked, reduce the heat to low. Add the butter and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until both are melted and the sauce becomes creamy. Return the chicken to the skillet, allowing it to heat through for a couple of minutes.
5. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve the dish warm, making sure to spoon some of that delicious creamy sauce over everything!

Cowboy Cream Cheese
Ingredients
1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried chives
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon dried thyme*
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, dried chives, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, lemon juice, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy. You can also use a food processor for quicker blending.
Transfer the cowboy cream cheese into an airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to blend.
Notes
*When making this cowboy cream cheese, thyme is optional. I like to add it if I’m serving the cream cheese cold. But, if it’s going to be baked (like in my cowboy jalapeño poppers), I usually skip it since the flavor can get a little too strong once it’s cooked.
