Equipment

  • 1 Large pot
  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 colander
  • 1 pair of tongs
  • 1 Wooden spoon
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Chef's knife
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 set of measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 12 ounces egg noodles
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the egg noodles.
  • Cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain using a colander.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and golden brown.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and allow it to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
  • Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the chicken and toss to combine.
  • Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and evenly distributed.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using whole-wheat egg noodles or adding a splash of lemon juice to the chicken broth before reduction. If you prefer a creamier texture, stir in a tablespoon of heavy cream along with the butter. Adjust seasonings to your taste, and feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a slight kick.
