chicken and noodles recipe
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
- Diet: General
Description
This creamy, one-pot chicken and noodles recipe features a vibrant sun-dried tomato and basil sauce, making it a quick and comforting weeknight meal that comes together in less than 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1.3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 12 oz wide egg noodles
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2.75 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 0.5 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Prepare the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside.
- Brown Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned on all sides. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics: Reduce heat to medium. Add onion to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened, then add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Make Sauce Base: Sprinkle flour over aromatics and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to toast. Gradually whisk in chicken broth to create a smooth sauce base. Stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and black pepper, then bring to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes.
- Simmer Chicken: Return browned chicken to the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Combine and Serve: Remove pot from heat. Stir in fresh basil, then add the cooked noodles and gently toss to combine and coat thoroughly with sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil.
Notes
To thicken the sauce further, simmer uncovered for an extra 2-3 minutes. For a lighter dish, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or evaporated milk. Fresh basil is essential for the best flavor; avoid using dried basil.
