Juicy chicken pairs with savory buttered noodles in a flavorful one-pan dish for quick, satisfying dinners.

# Ingredients List:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
05 - 1 teaspoon paprika
06 - Salt, to taste
07 - Black pepper, to taste

→ Noodles and Sauce

08 - 4 cups chicken broth
09 - 8 ounces egg noodles
10 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
11 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
12 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
13 - Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, pour in chicken broth and bring to a low simmer. Stir in egg noodles, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, or until noodles are al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
04 - While noodles are cooking, melt unsalted butter in a separate pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
05 - Once noodles are cooked, pour the butter and garlic mixture into the skillet with noodles. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese if using, and toss gently to combine.
06 - Slice cooked chicken breasts and arrange on top of buttered noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

# Extra Information:

01 - For enhanced richness, substitute part of the chicken broth with heavy cream if desired.
02 - Vegetables such as spinach, peas, or mushrooms can be added for more flavor and nutrients.
03 - Egg noodles may be swapped for other pasta varieties if preferred.
