Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or your favorite herb)

For the Buttered Noodles:

  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside to rest.
  2. Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions, typically 7-8 minutes, until al dente. Drain the noodles well.
  3. Make the Buttered Noodles: Return the drained noodles to the pot or a large mixing bowl. Add the unsalted butter while the noodles are still hot, stirring gently until the butter is fully melted and coats the noodles evenly. Season with salt to taste.
  4. Serve: Plate a portion of buttered noodles and top with a cooked chicken breast. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute dried thyme with other herbs such as rosemary, oregano, or Italian seasoning to vary the flavor.
  • For extra richness, add a splash of chicken broth or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to the noodles after adding the butter.
  • Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it juicy and tender.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
