Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 4 breasts
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 4 tbsp real butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Prep your ingredients by chopping garlic and any desired vegetables.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, sear the chicken over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp of butter until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Stir in the egg noodles and let them simmer for 8-10 minutes until they are al dente.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining butter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
To store leftovers, let the dish cool to room temperature and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. Adding vegetables like spinach or peas boosts nutrition. For creaminess, consider stirring in cream or cheese after cooking.
