Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.5 lbs total
  • 8 oz egg noodles Wide or medium
  • 4 tbsp real butter Divided
  • 4 cloves garlic Minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth Control salt by using low-sodium
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley Chopped
  • Salt and pepper To taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Mince the garlic. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Pound thicker ends to an even thickness.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Wait until the butter foams.
  2. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 5 minutes without moving them for a deep golden crust. Flip and sear the other side for another 5 minutes until golden and mostly cooked. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  3. Lower heat to medium and add the minced garlic; cook for 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, bringing it to a gentle boil while deglazing the pan to scrape up the browned bits.
  5. Stir in the egg noodles, return to a simmer, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente and most liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet just to warm through for about a minute. Remove from heat, stir in remaining butter until glossy, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning before serving.
