Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (cremini, button, or your choice)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:
- Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
- Make the sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring until the sauce thickens. Add the dried thyme and Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine: Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet, along with the cooked noodles. Toss everything together to coat the noodles and chicken in the mushroom sauce.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
