- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth. Add the thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the egg noodles. Continue to simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the sauce is creamy.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash more broth or water until you reach your desired consistency.
- You can substitute dried parsley for fresh if needed.
