Description

This creamy chicken with buttered noodles recipe combines tender chicken medallions in a savory mushroom sauce with buttery egg noodles. It’s a hearty, comforting dish perfect for weeknights or family gatherings.

 


Ingredients

  • Chicken & Sauce: 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp butter, 8 oz mushrooms (sliced), 1 lb chicken breasts (sliced into medallions), salt & black pepper (to taste), 1 small onion (diced), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional), fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Buttered Noodles: 8 oz egg noodles, 2 tbsp butter, salt & pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  • Cook the Noodles: Boil water with salt, cook noodles until tender, drain, then toss with butter, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add chicken, and cook until golden (3-4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
  • Make the Mushroom Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter. Add mushrooms and onions, cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Add garlic, cook for 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth, deglaze, then simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and thyme/rosemary if desired. Simmer until slightly thickened.
  • Combine: Return chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes until cooked through.
  • Serve: Plate the buttered noodles, top with chicken and mushroom sauce, and garnish with parsley.

Notes

  • Adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Add fresh herbs for additional flavor.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk.
