Ingredients

Scale

For the 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

For the Noodles

  • 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

  1. Prepare the Chicken Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts to infuse flavor before cooking.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Noodles: In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 7-8 minutes. Drain noodles, reserving a little broth for later use.
  4. Make the Butter Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet used for chicken, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Add the cooked noodles back into the skillet, tossing them with garlic butter. Optionally add reserved broth to moisten noodles if needed.
  5. Add Cheese and Combine: Stir in grated Parmesan cheese to the noodles for extra flavor and creaminess. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, placing them on top of the buttered noodles so that the flavors meld together for a minute or two.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish for a bright garnish. Serve hot with extra Parmesan cheese on the side if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for juicier meat.
  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to control salt levels.
  • For a lighter version, reduce butter or use olive oil.
  • Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a nice savory depth.
  • Fresh garlic can be replaced with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder if preferred.
  • Leftover chicken can be shredded and mixed into noodles for a different texture.
