Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts Juicy and tender
  • 8 oz egg noodles Can substitute with other pasta types
  • 4 tablespoons butter For richness; can substitute with olive oil for dairy-free option
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic enhances flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste Season to preference
  • Parsley for garnish (optional) Adds color and flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
  2. Remove chicken from the skillet and let rest.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and garlic, cooking until fragrant.
  4. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic butter.
  5. Slice the chicken and serve it over the buttered noodles, garnishing with parsley if desired.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Add vegetables like peas, carrots, or bell peppers to the noodles for extra nutrition and color. For a kick, consider adding red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
