Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Cooking Chicken
  1. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and add to the skillet.
  2. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Cooking Noodles
  1. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until tender.
  3. Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter until melted and combined.
  4. Slice the chicken and return it to the pan, tossing everything together.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Make sure to season the chicken well before cooking to enhance its flavor. For a creamier texture, you can add a splash of heavy cream to the chicken broth while cooking the noodles. If you prefer more vegetables, consider adding peas or spinach to the noodles during the last few minutes of cooking.
