Description
A cozy, pantry-friendly weekday dinner of tender seared chicken and silky egg noodles finished in garlic butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 8 oz wide egg noodles
- 4 tbsp real butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon butter.
- Add the chicken and sear for 5 minutes until golden, then flip and sear the other side for another 5 minutes.
- Remove chicken to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium and sauté minced garlic for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
- Stir in egg noodles, pushing them down to submerge.
- Reduce heat, return chicken to the pan and simmer for 8–10 minutes until noodles are al dente and chicken is cooked through.
- Stir in remaining 3 tablespoons of butter until melted, season to taste, and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving hot.
Notes
For a lighter version, swap half the butter for olive oil and finish with lemon. You can also use thighs instead of breasts for more forgiving meat.
