Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 4 tbsp real butter (divided)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • to taste Salt and pepper
Optional ingredients
  • sliced mushrooms or peas for extra texture and flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by prepping the minced garlic and any optional veggies you want to add.
  2. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter until it foams.
  2. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and allow it to sear without moving for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Move the chicken to one side, adding the minced garlic to the empty space in the skillet. Sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping any flavorful browned bits from the pan. Bring it to a boil.
  5. Stir in the egg noodles, ensuring they're nestled in the broth. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the pan, and cook for 8–10 minutes.
  6. Once cooked, remove the pan from heat and stir in the remaining butter until melted and glossy.
  7. Allow it to rest for 2 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped parsley and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.

Notes

For perfectly seared chicken, don’t crowd the pan. Consider adding a splash of cream for extra richness. Always check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it’s safe to eat.
