Instructions

  • Cook the Chicken:
    • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp of 165°F).
    • Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and spoon it over the chicken. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Cook the Noodles:
    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Prepare the Butter Sauce:
    • In the same pot, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
    • Stir in the cooked noodles, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat in the butter sauce.
  • Assemble and Serve:
    • Slice the chicken and serve it over the buttered noodles.
    • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
    • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Add a splash of chicken broth or heavy cream for a richer sauce.
