Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Buttered Noodles
  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add egg noodles and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat until foamy and light golden, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour in heavy cream and stir gently, simmering for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles form around the edges.
  4. Stir in shredded chicken and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing well for 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts into the sauce.
  5. Gently toss the drained egg noodles into the skillet using tongs to ensure even coating in the sauce, about 2 minutes.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Use high-quality cooked chicken for better flavor; rotisserie chicken is a quick option. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freeze portions separately for up to 2 months.
