One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles
This One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles is the ultimate weeknight dinner—minimal cleanup, maximum flavor. Cooking the egg noodles directly in a mixture of chicken broth and heavy cream allows them to release their starches, creating a silky, restaurant-quality sauce that coats every bite. A final touch of butter and Parmesan transforms the pan drippings into a rich, savory “gold” that perfectly complements the golden-seared chicken.
