Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground chicken
1 yellow onion (medium, diced)
8 ounce cremini mushrooms (sliced)
2 clove garlic (minced)
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
12 ounce wide egg noodles
2 tablespoon butter

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and remove chicken from the skillet, set aside.
Add the diced yellow onion and sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until vegetables are softened and mushrooms have released their liquid, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the gravy has thickened.
Return the cooked ground chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat in the gravy. Season with salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.
Meanwhile, cook the wide egg noodles according to package directions in a separate pot of boiling salted water until very tender. Drain thoroughly and toss with butter.
Serve the ground chicken mixture over the buttered egg noodles.

Notes

Ensure noodles are cooked extra soft for easy chewing. This is a family-friendly dish that reheats well.
