Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Stir in egg noodles. Cover and cook according to noodle package directions, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and sauce has thickened, about 10-12 minutes.
