🛒 Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, diced 🍗
2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
½ small onion, chopped 🧅
1 tsp sweet paprika
¼ tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste) 🌶️
¾ cup heavy cream or sour cream 🥛
6 oz egg noodles or tagliatelle 🍜
1 tbsp olive oil 🧈
Salt & black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped 🌿
Extra ground black pepper for garnish

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Sear the Chicken:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken, garlic, and onion. Sauté until the chicken is golden and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.

2. Add the Spice:

Stir in the paprika and chili flakes. Let them toast for 30 seconds to bloom the flavors.

3. Make it Creamy:

Reduce the heat and pour in the cream (or sour cream). Stir to combine and let simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Boil the Pasta:

While the sauce simmers, cook the egg noodles or tagliatelle according to package directions. Drain and toss with a little olive oil.

5. Plate It Up:

Spoon the creamy chicken over a bed of noodles. Add a dollop of herbed sour cream if you like. Garnish with fresh parsley and a crack of black pepper.
