Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 680 g boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 480 ml chicken broth
  • 227 g egg noodles
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 g Optional garnish: chopped parsley or grated parmesan

Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and nearly cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Pour chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add egg noodles, spreading them evenly in the liquid.
  4. Place the chicken back on top of the noodles. Cover and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring noodles occasionally, until noodles are tender and chicken is fully cooked.
  5. Remove chicken and set aside briefly. Stir butter into the noodles until melted and glossy. Return chicken to the pan, spoon noodles over the top, and garnish if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, try adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of your favorite hot sauce before serving.
