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!

Ingredients

  • 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.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

  • 1 carrot, shredded or diced

  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese

  • 1–2 scoops unflavored protein powder (optional)

  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Pinch of paprika or nutmeg (optional)

  • Optional garnish: more shredded cheese or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes

Directions

  • Sauté the base: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until soft, about 3–4 minutes.
  • Simmer the veggies: Add broccoli, carrot, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10–12 minutes, until broccoli is tender.
  • Blend (optional): For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, or leave it chunky if you prefer.
  • Add protein and cheese: Stir in Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese) and protein powder if using. Mix well until combined. Add cheddar cheese and stir until melted.
  • Season and serve: Add salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika or nutmeg if desired. Serve hot, topped with extra cheese or red pepper flakes.

Notes

  • Protein boost without powder: Blended cottage cheese or Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein.
  • Make it vegetarian: Use vegetable broth and skip protein powder if it contains animal products.
  • Want it thicker? Add 1 tbsp flour with the onions or a handful of blended white beans.
  • Storage: Keeps well in the fridge for 4–5 days. Reheat gently over low heat to keep the cheese from separating.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or a mix)

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1½ cups cooked shredded chicken (or rotisserie)

  • 1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream

  • ½ tsp dried thyme

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Optional: ½ cup cooked rice or egg noodles

  • Garnish: chopped fresh parsley or a dash of paprika

Directions

  • Sauté veggies: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Cook mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and begin to brown, 6–8 minutes.
  • Make the roux: Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir for 1–2 minutes until it’s fully absorbed.
  • Add broth: Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add chicken & cream: Stir in the cooked chicken, cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 10–15 minutes.
  • Add rice/noodles (optional): If using, stir in the rice or noodles and heat through.
  • Serve: Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of paprika, and enjoy warm with crusty bread.

Notes

  • For a richer soup: Use heavy cream or add a splash of white wine with the broth.
  • Make it lighter: Use milk instead of cream and skip the flour for a thinner broth.
  • Vegetarian version: Swap chicken for white beans or tofu and use vegetable broth.
  • Storage: Keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently—don’t boil, or the cream may separate

Ingredients

  • 4 large onions, thinly sliced

  • 3 tbsp butter

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar or Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tbsp flour (optional, for a thicker soup)

  • 6 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version)

  • ½ tsp dried thyme

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • ½ cup white wine (optional, for depth of flavor)

  • Baguette slices, toasted

  • 1 ½ cups shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese

Directions

  • In a large pot, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add onions and salt, cooking for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until soft.
  • Stir in balsamic vinegar to speed up caramelization. Cook another 5 minutes.
  • If using, sprinkle flour and stir to coat the onions.
  • Pour in broth, wine, thyme, and black pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls, top with toasted baguette slices, and cover with cheese.
  • Broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra caramelization, cook the onions longer (up to 40 minutes on low heat).
  • Substitute cheese with provolone or mozzarella for a different taste.
  • Use store-bought caramelized onions to make this even quicker.
  • Make it ahead—the deepen overnight!
