Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Noodles

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 8 ounces egg noodles

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Optional Garnishes

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to infuse flavor.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked through and golden brown on the outside. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Simmer noodles: In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the egg noodles, ensuring they are fully submerged in the liquid for even cooking.
  4. Cook noodles: Cover the skillet and cook the noodles for 7-8 minutes until al dente and most of the broth has been absorbed.
  5. Prepare garlic butter: While the noodles cook, melt the unsalted butter in a separate pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  6. Combine noodles and sauce: Once noodles are cooked, stir in the garlic butter mixture and Parmesan cheese (if using), tossing well to coat noodles evenly.
  7. Slice chicken: Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips or bite-sized pieces.
  8. Assemble and serve: Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the buttered noodles, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can use bone-in chicken if you prefer, but cooking time will need to be increased accordingly.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute unsalted butter with browned butter.
  • If you want a lower sodium option, use low-sodium chicken broth.
  • Adding a splash of lemon juice before serving brightens the dish.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a little broth or water to loosen the noodles if needed.
