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 lb (450g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup beef broth

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

  • Cooked egg noodles or rice, for serving

Directions

  • Cook the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef slices, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté veggies: In the same skillet, add butter, onion, and garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes until soft. Add mushrooms and cook until browned and their liquid evaporates.
  • Make the sauce: Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir for 1 minute. Slowly add beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer.
  • Finish it up: Lower heat, stir in sour cream until smooth. Return beef to the pan and simmer for another 2–3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Serve hot over cooked noodles or rice, garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version.
  • For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream along with sour cream.
  • Great with egg noodles, but mashed potatoes or rice work just as well.

  • Salt to taste

  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Directions

  • In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours.
  • In a large pan or skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden and soft.
  • Add garlic, ginger, cumin, garam masala, coriander, and chili powder. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Stir in crushed tomatoes and sugar (if using), and simmer for 10–15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For extra richness, add a little more butter before serving.
  • You can adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less chili powder.

  • For a smoky flavor, grill or sear the marinated chicken before adding it to the sauce.
  • You can use chicken breast instead of thighs, but thighs provide a juicier, more flavorful result.
