Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup water
8 ounces wide egg noodles
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and water, scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits.
Add the egg noodles, dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese.
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce is creamy and heated through.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
