Ingredients

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions
-
Cook the Chicken: Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook them for 5-6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once done, take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside.
-
Add Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook it for a minute until it smells great.
-
Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
-
Cook the Noodles: Add the egg noodles to the skillet, cover it, and let the noodles cook for about 8-10 minutes until they are tender. Stir them occasionally.
-
Finish the Dish: Once the noodles are ready, stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese. Mix until everything is melted and creamy.
-
Combine and Serve: Finally, return the cooked chicken to the skillet to warm it up. If you like, garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
