Description
A comforting one-pan meal combining tender chicken and buttered noodles, perfect for busy weeknights or leisurely weekends.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then add them to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
- Once the noodles are cooked, drain any excess liquid if necessary. Stir in the remaining butter and return the chicken to the pan. Toss everything together to coat in the butter and broth.
- Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
For added flavor, consider incorporating other spices or herbs such as Italian seasoning or fresh thyme. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to enhance moisture.
