Servings:

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breasts, sliced into medallions
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 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, chopped (for garnish)
• 8 oz egg noodles
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Directions:
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the egg noodles, and cook until tender. Drain and toss with butter, salt, and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
• Season the chicken medallions with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
• In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms and onions, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and thyme or rosemary if desired, letting the sauce simmer until slightly thickened.
• Return the chicken to the skillet, allowing it to simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes, or until fully cooked.
• Spoon the buttered noodles onto plates and top with the chicken medallions and creamy mushroom sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
• Tips for Success:
• Season Generously: Properly seasoning the chicken ensures bold, savory flavors in every bite.
• Don’t Skip the Sear: Browning the chicken in the skillet adds depth to the dish by creating flavorful bits that enhance the sauce.
• Customize the Herbs: Swap thyme or rosemary with basil or parsley for a fresh twist.
