Why You’ll Love One Pan Chicken Noodles

The secret to the dish’s appeal is its simplicity: vegetables, chicken, and noodles come together with a delicious sauce, soaking up every ounce of flavor. The noodles cook right in the pan with the other ingredients, absorbing chicken juices and aromatics for a rich, cohesive taste. Plus, you can easily swap in any vegetables you have on hand, making it endlessly versatile.

Building Bold Flavor With Minimal Effort

Start by prepping your ingredients for efficiency—a task made easier with the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. It quickly dices onions, carrots, and bell peppers to uniform size, ensuring even cooking throughout your skillet.

Brown your chicken pieces first for a savory foundation. Once golden and cooked through, set aside and briefly sauté the vegetables before adding everything else back into the pan. This simple sequence ensures that both flavor and texture are at their peak.

The All-in-One Pan Method

A quality nonstick pan, such as the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch, works wonders for this recipe. Its size and surface prevent sticking and make it easy to toss noodles and mix ingredients without any mess.

After sautéing, return the chicken to the pan and add uncooked noodles. Pour in your choice of flavorful broth—chicken or vegetable—then simply cover and simmer until the noodles are tender and have soaked up most of the liquid. In under half an hour, you’ll have a complete meal that looks and tastes like it took far more effort.

Finishing Touches and Serving Suggestions

For the final flourish, toss in a handful of fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten up the flavors. Portion leftovers into Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers for effortless grab-and-go lunches—a practical way to ensure this meal stretches further.

Pair your chicken noodles with a crisp green salad, or enjoy as a standalone main if you’re after pure comfort in a bowl. For a fun tableside presentation, serve directly from the skillet with a sturdy Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher for easy portioning.

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the pan. Cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.

3. Add the uncooked noodles to the pan, then pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle in Italian seasoning. Stir everything together.
4. Return chicken to the pan. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
5. Stir in frozen peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking. If using, add grated Parmesan cheese and mix to combine.
6. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley or chives, and serve with lemon wedges.
