Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz egg noodles (or pasta of choice)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (optional, for extra flavor)

Ingredient Highlights

  • Chicken Breasts: Tender, lean chicken breasts provide the protein and substance for the dish, while their mild flavor complements the buttery noodles.
  • Egg Noodles: Soft and delicate, egg noodles are the perfect choice for buttered pasta, but you can also substitute them with other pasta varieties like fettuccine or spaghetti.
  • Butter: Unsalted butter adds the creamy richness that makes this dish so comforting and delicious.
  • Garlic and Onion Powder: These seasonings enhance the flavor of the dish without overpowering it, adding just the right amount of savory depth.
  • Parmesan Cheese (Optional): Adds a touch of salty, cheesy goodness that complements the buttered noodles perfectly.
  • Chicken Broth (Optional): A splash of chicken broth can enhance the flavor of both the chicken and noodles, making the dish even more flavorful.

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:

  1. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.

Cook the Noodles:

  1. Cook the Noodles: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles (or your choice of pasta) and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 7-8 minutes for egg noodles. Drain the noodles and set aside.

Combine the Noodles and Butter:

  1. Make the Butter Sauce: In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. If you’d like, add 1/2 cup of chicken broth to the skillet for extra flavor. Stir to combine the butter and broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to incorporate the flavor into the sauce.
  2. Toss the Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing them in the buttery sauce until they are evenly coated. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add more butter at this point.
  3. Season to Taste: Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder as desired.

Serve the Dish:

  1. Slice the Chicken: Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
  2. Assemble the Dish: Divide the buttery noodles among serving plates. Top with the sliced chicken and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish. Optionally, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
