Ingredients
  

Noodles
  • 12 oz egg noodles
Chicken and Sauce
  • 1 lb chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup green peas fresh or frozen
  • 4 tbsp butter divided
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper or to taste

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Large Skillet

Method
 

  1. Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted water until tender according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cut the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces so it cooks quickly and evenly.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chicken and cook until golden and fully cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
  5. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft and lightly browned.
  6. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  7. Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. Add the peas and cooked noodles, then return the chicken to the skillet.
  9. Stir everything together until well coated in the buttery sauce and heated through.
  10. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then serve warm.

Notes

For a quick shortcut, use shredded or rotisserie chicken and add it near the end just to warm through. For a richer sauce, stir in a splash of cream. You can also swap the peas for spinach or broccoli. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of broth or water.
