Creamy Garlic Chicken with Egg Noodles
This hearty and comforting dish features tender chicken smothered in a rich garlic cream sauce, served over a bed of egg noodles. A perfect meal for weeknights or a cozy family dinner!
Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
4-6 chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
For the Cream Sauce:
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Egg Noodles:
12 oz egg noodles
1 tbsp butter
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
Season chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken thighs for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Make the Cream Sauce:
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the skillet, and bring to a simmer.
Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Cook the Egg Noodles:
Boil egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with butter and a pinch of salt.
Assemble the Dish:
Return cooked chicken to the skillet with the cream sauce. Spoon sauce over the chicken and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Serve chicken and sauce over a bed of egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Tips:
Add crispy bacon bits to the sauce for extra flavor.
Want more spice? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Pair with a glass of white wine or sparkling water with lemon.
Enjoy this creamy and indulgent dinner!
