Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 4 tbsp real butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Prep your ingredients by chopping garlic and any desired vegetables.
Cooking
- Sear the chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Stir in the egg noodles, then simmer for 8-10 minutes until the noodles are al dente.
- Remove from heat, stir in the remaining butter, and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Notes
Serve the chicken and buttered noodles hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired. This dish pairs well with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. For added flavor, include your favorite vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers during cooking. Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. Fresh parsley enhances the dish’s appearance, but dried parsley can be used in a pinch. You can substitute egg noodles for whole wheat or gluten-free noodles based on dietary needs.
