Creamy, savory, and a little boozy — One Pan Tipsy Chicken and Noodles is comfort food with a grown-up twist. Tender chicken, wide egg noodles, and a splash of white wine come together in a rich, one-skillet dinner that’s both easy and indulgent.
Origin One Pan Tipsy Chicken and Noodles
This dish riffs off classic creamy chicken noodles, but gets its “tipsy” charm from a touch of wine — a nod to French country cooking. One pan means less cleanup, more flavor.
What I Love About This Recipe
It’s fuss-free and full of cozy vibes. The wine adds depth without overpowering, and everything cooks together — no boiling noodles separately!

kcalIngredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into chunks
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup dry white wine (like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
2½ cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
8 oz wide egg noodles (uncooked)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
Optional: chopped parsley and grated Parmesan for garnish
Directions
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 4–5 minutes.
- Add onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in chicken broth, cream, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Add uncooked noodles, pushing them down into the liquid. Cover and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with chopped parsley and Parmesan, if using. Serve warm.
Notes
- No wine? Sub with more broth and a splash of lemon juice.
- Add mushrooms or spinach for extra texture and nutrition.
- Leftovers reheat beautifully with a splash of broth or cream.
