  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter

  4. Cook the chicken in the skillet for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown.
  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
  6. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  8. Slice the chicken breasts and serve over the buttered noodles.

Notes

  • Feel free to use other types of pasta, like fettuccine or spaghetti, if you don’t have egg noodles.
  • You can add vegetables like steamed broccoli or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • If you prefer a creamy version, add a little heavy cream or cream cheese to the butter sauce.
  • Leftover chicken can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated with the noodles.
  • For a lower-fat version, use olive oil instead of butter.
  • Adjust the seasoning to your taste, adding more salt or herbs if desired.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with a simple side salad or garlic bread.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, swap out the noodles for a gluten-free pasta variety.
