Description
Savor tender chicken medallions smothered in a rich mushroom sauce, served over buttery noodles for a comforting, hearty meal.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken and Sauce:
- 1 lb chicken breasts, sliced into medallions
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Buttered Noodles:
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles:
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add egg noodles, and cook until tender. Drain and toss with butter, salt, and pepper. Set aside and keep warm. - Prepare the Chicken:
Season chicken medallions with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken, cooking until golden brown on each side (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. - Make the Mushroom Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter. Add mushrooms and onions, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes). Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then stir in heavy cream and thyme or rosemary if using. Let the sauce simmer until slightly thickened. - Combine and Serve:
Return the chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Spoon buttered noodles onto plates and top with chicken medallions and mushroom sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
