A comforting and hearty one-pan meal featuring tender chicken, egg noodles, and a rich homemade gravy, all cooked together in a skillet for easy cleanup and maximum flavor.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
8 ounces wide egg noodles
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Heat the 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 browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Add the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the egg noodles to the skillet and cook uncovered for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and the gravy has thickened.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the unsalted butter until melted and incorporated.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.
