A comforting dish of juicy chicken and buttery egg noodles, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 4 tbsp real butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the chicken: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat and sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side.
  3. Add the garlic: Throw in the minced garlic and stir it around for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the broth: Add the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan, and bring to a simmer.
  5. Cook the noodles: Add in the egg noodles, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes until the noodles are al dente and the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Finishing touches: Remove the skillet from heat, let the chicken rest, and stir the remaining butter and parsley into the noodles.
  7. Slice and serve: Slice the chicken and arrange over the noodles, garnishing with extra parsley.

Notes
