Chicken and Buttered Noodles in One Pan

Introduction

Chicken and Buttered Noodles in One Pan is a comforting, simple, and satisfying meal that comes together with minimal effort.
Tender chicken, buttery noodles, and savory seasonings combine to create a dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights or cozy family dinners.
The best part is that everything cooks in one pan, making cleanup quick and stress-free.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound chicken breast or chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 8 ounces egg noodles
• ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon dried parsley or Italian seasoning
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat.
2. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
5. Add the egg noodles, stirring so they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
7. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and add the dried parsley or Italian seasoning.
8. Stir everything together and cook for another 1–2 minutes until well combined.
9. Remove from heat and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Description

This one-pan chicken and buttered noodles recipe delivers rich, savory flavor with minimal ingredients.
The noodles soak up the buttery chicken broth, creating a silky sauce that coats every bite.
It’s a warm, filling dish that feels like homemade comfort food without requiring hours in the kitchen.

Tips

• Chicken thighs add extra moisture and flavor if you prefer juicier meat.
• Stir the noodles occasionally to prevent sticking.
• If the pan becomes dry before the noodles are cooked, add a splash of broth or water.
• For extra richness, stir in an additional tablespoon of butter before serving.

Correction

• If egg noodles are unavailable, use spaghetti or fettuccine broken in half.
• Add vegetables like peas, spinach, or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
• For a dairy-free version, replace butter with olive oil and skip the cheese.
• Enhance flavor by adding onion powder or garlic powder if desired.
