Ingredients

  • 6 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 pound chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup butter divided
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 ½ cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • cup white wine
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup sour cream or more to taste
  • fresh parsley or thyme sprigs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain noodles and set aside. Do not rinse the noodles.
    6 ounces egg noodles
  • Cut chicken into bite size pieces and season with salt and pepper.
    1 pound chicken breasts, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 5–6 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove to a plate.
    ¼ cup butter
  • In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the onion and mushrooms; cook for 4–5 minutes, until softened and lightly browned. Stir in minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme. Cook another 30-45 seconds.
    1 small onion, 1 ½ cup mushrooms, 1 garlic clove, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
    ⅛ cup white wine
  • Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and then milk until smooth. Stir in Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer 5-8 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 cup chicken broth, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Lower heat to medium. Stir in sour cream until creamy and well combined. Return chicken and any juices to the skillet; cook 2–3 minutes to heat through. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
    ½ cup sour cream
  • Spoon the chicken and sauce over the egg noodles, or toss the noodles directly into the skillet. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme.

Notes

Seasoning to taste: Broths vary. Start with the listed salt, then taste and adjust at the end. A little black pepper and a squeeze of lemon brighten the sauce.
Kid-friendly swaps: Skip mushrooms or replace with peas or finely diced bell pepper.
  • Storage: Refrigerate 3–4 days. Reheat on low with a splash of broth or milk.
  • Freezer: Freeze chicken + sauce (no noodles) up to 2 months. Thaw overnight; reheat gently and add fresh noodles.
