Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Mince garlic and chop parsley finely.
- Cook the chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides (approximately 6-7 minutes per side) or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Add garlic and broth: In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Cook the noodles: Stir in egg noodles and cover. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender.
- Create the sauce: Once noodles are cooked, remove them from the heat along with any remaining liquid. Stir in remaining butter until melted to create a rich sauce.
- Combine: Return chicken to the skillet along with chopped parsley; toss gently to combine everything well.
