Creamy Garlic Chicken with Noodles
Creamy Garlic Chicken with Noodles is an easy and flavorful family dinner with a creamy garlic sauce, tender chicken over a bed of egg noodles. Just like beef stroganoff, but with chicken!
This super simple dinner recipe is hearty and filling. Creamy Garlic Chicken with Noodles reminds me of a creamy, dreamy alfredo pasta dish that you can get at your local Italian restaurant.
Bursting with delicious garlic flavor, this homemade creamy sauce has a slight zing from the white wine and is super easy to whip up.
If you love garlic cream sauce and you’re looking for more creamy, rich main dish recipes, you have to try this Chicken Alfredo Pierogi Casserole.
And if your family loves delicious comfort food like mine does, this Slow Cooker Beef and Noodles is always a hit, as well as this fantastic Beef Noodle Bake made with tender pasta.

How to Make Creamy Garlic Chicken with Noodles

Recipe Tips and Tricks
- While cooking the chicken and sauteing the onion and garlic, be sure to stir the onions and garlic around so you don’t burn them.
- For an even richer, creamier flavor, reserve some pasta water to add to your recipe.
- Using a small amount of pasta water in the sauce helps make sure the sauce covers all the cooked pasta.
- For best results, make sure your water is at a rolling boil before adding the noodles to be cooked. Don’t forget to cook your pasta ahead of time according to the package instructions.
- Always check the internal temperature of your chicken as it needs to be 165F to be safe to eat.
- You can even use leftover chicken to make this recipe even easier.
- Don’t replace the heavy cream with any other dairy product with a lower fat content or you’ll use the creamy and rich flavor in the sauce.
Variations and Substitutions
- Add lemon juice for a pop of citrus flavor
- Swap regular egg noodles for Amish egg noodles
- Try other mushroom varieties
- Add in other veggies like peas, carrots, spinach, kale, asparagus, prosciutto, etc.
- Roast the garlic before using to bring out even more garlic flavor
- Toss in some more cooked protein choices like shrimp, steak or sausage
- Try this with boneless chicken thighs or rotisserie chicken instead of chicken breasts
- Add freshly grated parmesan cheese for more creaminess
Storage Instructions
Storing Leftovers
Any leftover garlic chicken noodles can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
I recommend reheating on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Can I Freeze?
You can try to freeze leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Keep in mind that when you thaw this recipe, the creamy sauce may start to separate, so be careful.
What Kind of Noodles Should I Use?
You can use any noodles for this recipe. The chicken and cream sauce will be perfect on any bed of traditional pasta or nontraditional pasta, like penne pasta, spaghetti noodles, fettuccine, angel hair pasta, zucchini noodles, etc.
What Kind of Wine Should I Use?
I like to use a dry white wine in this recipe. I prefer to use Pinot Grigio, but you can also try a sauvignon blanc or a dry chardonnay.
Can I Skip the Wine?
Feel free to omit the wine and use chicken broth or chicken stock in its place.
