Ingredients

• 12 oz egg noodles
• 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp dried thyme
• 1 cup frozen peas (optional)
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles cook, pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and paprika.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly for 1 minute to create a roux.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking to combine and prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the remaining black pepper. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 8

Add the cooked egg noodles, sliced chicken, and optional frozen peas to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat evenly in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until peas are heated through and the dish is warmed through.

Step 9

Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
