  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and thyme. Sear until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-6 minutes per side). Let rest, then slice.
  2. Boil water in a pot and cook noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté garlic for one minute until fragrant.
  4. Add chicken broth and simmer for about 3 minutes. Stir in heavy cream; let thicken for another 3-4 minutes.
  5. Toss noodles with the sauce in the skillet, adding reserved pasta water if necessary for consistency. Return sliced chicken to the skillet and mix well.
