🍲 One-Skillet Chicken & Noodles:

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

⭐ Step 1 — Brown the Chicken

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken cubes, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and cook until lightly golden on all sides. Remove and set aside.

⭐ Step 2 — Sauté the Aromatics

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until soft and fragrant.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.

⭐ Step 3 — Add Broth, Milk & Noodles

Pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring well to release any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the uncooked egg noodles and thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer.

⭐ Step 4 — Return the Chicken

Place the browned chicken back into the skillet.
Cover and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and the sauce thickens.

⭐ Step 5 — Add Veggies

Stir in the frozen peas and cook for 2–3 more minutes.
Add Parmesan for extra creaminess.

⭐ Step 6 — Serve Warm & Cozy

Top with fresh parsley and extra cheese.
Add a squeeze of lemon for a bright finish, if you like.

💡 Tips & Variations
