Casablanca – Some weeknight dinners need to be quick, but that does not mean they have to feel boring. These creamy chicken and mushroom egg noodles are one of them.
Think golden chicken, tender mushrooms, and soft egg noodles all brought together in a creamy sauce. The result is the kind of cozy bowl that feels indulgent without requiring hours in the kitchen.
The best part? Everything comes together in one pan, making this recipe as easy to clean up as it is to make.
What you’ll need
- Chicken breast
- Mushrooms
- Shallots
- Egg noodles
- Cream cheese
- Dijon mustard
- Chicken broth
- Olive oil
- Salt & pepper
How to make it
Start by seasoning the chicken and searing it in a hot pan with olive oil until golden on the outside. Once browned, take it out and let it rest while you prepare the rest.
In the same pan, add the mushrooms and shallots and let them cook until soft and fragrant. This is where those browned bits left from the chicken start adding even more flavor to the dish.
Pour in the chicken broth, then stir in the Dijon mustard and cream cheese until you have a smooth, creamy sauce.
Now add the egg noodles and return the chicken to the pan. Let everything cook together until the noodles are tender and coated in the sauce, while the chicken finishes cooking.
And just like that, dinner is ready.
Make it lighter
Want the same creamy comfort with a lighter touch? Swap the regular egg noodles for whole wheat pasta and use light cream cheese.
You can also throw in some spinach or broccoli for extra fiber, color, and a little more goodness in every bite.
Serve it warm, grab a fork, and enjoy. Bsaha!
