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 and Sauce
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
- Simmer noodles: In the same skillet, pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add egg noodles and ensure they are fully submerged.
- Cook noodles: Cover skillet and cook noodles for 7-8 minutes until al dente and most broth is absorbed.
- Prepare garlic butter: While noodles cook, melt butter in a separate pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Combine noodles and sauce: Once noodles are cooked, add the garlic butter mixture to the skillet. Stir in Parmesan cheese if using and toss until evenly coated.
- Slice and serve: Slice cooked chicken breasts and arrange on top of noodles.
- Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish and serve immediately for best flavor.
