A classic American comfort food dish that never fails to satisfy. This hearty, one-pot meal is a staple in many households, and for good reason - it's easy to make, delicious, and can be customized to suit any taste.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cups of egg noodles
2 tablespoons of butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup of all-purpose flour
2 cups of chicken broth
1 cup of heavy cream
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it's translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Add the chicken to the pot and cook until it's browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside. Add the flour to the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it's lightly browned.
Gradually add the chicken broth to the pot, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked noodles to the pot and stir to combine. Return the chicken to the pot and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has coated the noodles and chicken evenly.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
