A simple and quick 30-minute skillet chicken dinner served over buttery egg noodles, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and return to the pot.
  4. Add butter to the same skillet used for the chicken. Melt over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to create a pan sauce. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the pan sauce. Stir to combine and heat through.
  7. Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Toss to coat the noodles evenly.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer pan sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream along with the chicken broth.
  • Adjust seasonings to your preference. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a little heat.
  • This dish is great for using up leftover cooked chicken.
