Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 5 cups baby spinach
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook egg noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. In a hot skillet, heat olive oil and sear chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through. Remove and let rest.
- In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms until browned. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Simmer until slightly thickened.
- Add spinach and let it wilt. Stir in parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Slice the chicken and return to the skillet with the cooked noodles. Toss everything gently to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve warm with optional extra parmesan on top.
Notes
- Use freshly grated parmesan for best melt and flavor.
- Deglaze the skillet with broth after mushrooms for deeper flavor.
- Add lemon zest at the end for a touch of brightness.
