Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter

For the Buttered Noodles:

  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley (or fresh, chopped)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the Chicken:

  1. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Evenly coat both sides of the chicken.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Finish Cooking: Lower the heat, add butter, and allow it to melt while basting the chicken for added flavor. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest before slicing.

2. Prepare the Buttered Noodles:

  1. Boil the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Drain well.
  2. Prepare the Butter Sauce: In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Toss the Noodles: Add the drained noodles to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and parsley, and stir to combine.
  4. Optional Cheese Addition: Stir in grated Parmesan for extra richness.

3. Serve and Enjoy!

Slice the chicken and serve it over the buttered noodles. Garnish with additional parsley or Parmesan cheese for the perfect finishing touch.

Notes

  • Substitutions: You can use any pasta of your choice if egg noodles are unavailable.
  • Make It Creamy: Add a splash of heavy cream to the noodles for extra richness.
  • Storage Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a bit of butter for best results.
  • Add More Flavor: Squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the chicken before serving for a hint of brightness.
