Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts/thighs The star of the dish, ensuring a juicy protein that pairs perfectly with noodles.
For the Noodles
  • 8 oz Egg noodles These absorb the buttery sauce beautifully, creating a silky texture.
For the Sauce
  • 3 tbsp Butter Adds rich and indulgent flavor; olive oil can be used for a lighter option.
For Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Salt Enhances flavor without overpowering the dish.
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper A must for a touch of warmth.
  • Optional herbs (e.g., garlic powder, Italian seasoning) Use these to elevate the flavors and add a personal touch.

Equipment

  • large pot
  • skillet
  • Colander

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add egg noodles and cook until al dente, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Pat chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and optional herbs.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove chicken and let rest.
  4. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and melt. Add drained noodles, tossing gently in butter. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed.
  5. Slice the rested chicken and toss it into the skillet with noodles. Stir until combined and warmed through. Serve immediately.
