Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook egg noodles in salted boiling water until al dente; drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté seasoned chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest before chopping into bite-sized pieces.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about two minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until soft.
- In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese. Pour over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet; stir gently to combine.
