Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter for searing
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
For the Mushroom Sauce:
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Buttered Noodles:
- 8 oz egg noodles (or your preferred pasta)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Noodles: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with butter. Set aside and keep warm.
- Make the Mushroom Sauce: In the same skillet used for chicken, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in cream and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Serve: Plate the buttered noodles and top with the chicken and mushroom sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley for color and freshness.
