Cooking Instructions:

First things first, start by cooking the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set them aside for later. Next, heat some oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until they are golden brown on both sides. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to cool.

In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until they turn soft and fragrant. Pour in the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined and let it simmer for a few minutes.

While the sauce simmers, shred the cooled chicken breasts using two forks. Add the shredded chicken back to the skillet and stir it into the creamy sauce. Let the mixture simmer for another 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Finally, add the cooked egg noodles to the creamy chicken mixture and gently toss everything until the noodles are coated in the luscious sauce. Adjust the seasoning if needed and simmer for a few more minutes until the dish reaches the perfect creamy consistency.
