Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breast fillets (½ lb), sliced into strips
  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • ¼ tsp nutmeg, freshly grated
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add 3 Tbsp butter.
  2. Add chicken and sauté with olive oil until golden brown (4-5 minutes per side). Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Push chicken to the side; add remaining butter, garlic, and shallots. Sauté 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, then stir in Parmesan and nutmeg. Simmer 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Notes

Use chicken thighs for juicier texture
Replace butter with dairy-free alternative if needed
Substitute ½ cup low-fat milk + ½ cup cream for a lighter sauce
Cherry tomatoes add a tangy contrast as an optional add-in
