- 8 oz egg noodles
- 3 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2️⃣ Prepare the Noodles – In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté until fragrant (30 seconds). Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, then bring to a simmer. Add egg noodles, cover, and cook until tender (8-10 minutes).
3️⃣ Combine – Stir in butter and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Return the chicken to the skillet and let it warm through.
4️⃣ Serve – Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy warm!
Notes

✔ Spice It Up – Add red pepper flakes or cayenne.
✔ Use Different Pasta – Swap egg noodles for fettuccine, rotini, or penne.
✔ Add Veggies – Stir in spinach, mushrooms, or peas.
✔ Make It Lighter – Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
