How to Make One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 8 ounces egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions:

1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the egg noodles, making sure they are fully submerged in the broth.
4. Cover and cook the noodles for about 7-8 minutes, or until they are al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
5. While the noodles are cooking, melt the butter in a separate pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Once the noodles are cooked, add the butter and garlic mixture to the skillet with the noodles. Stir in the Parmesan cheese (if using) and toss to combine.
7. Slice the cooked chicken and arrange it on top of the noodles.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

How to Serve One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles

How to Store One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This dish will keep well for about 3 to 4 days. To reheat, simply warm it up in the microwave or on the stove over low heat until heated through.
