Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
Noodles
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 8 oz egg noodles
Finishing Touches
- 3 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the sliced chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Place chicken in the skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Remove Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate to rest while you prepare the noodles.
- Cook the Noodles: In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions, about 6-8 minutes, until the noodles are tender and have absorbed some broth flavor.
- Add Butter & Chicken: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the butter until melted and the dish is creamy. Slice the rested chicken breasts and return them to the skillet, mixing gently with the noodles and sauce.
- Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top if desired, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve the dish warm and enjoy the comforting combination of buttery noodles and savory chicken.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier option.
- If you prefer, add vegetables like peas or spinach during the noodle cooking step for added nutrition.
- Use low-sodium chicken broth to control salt levels.
- Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a nice savory finish.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
