Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Pound chicken to ¾-inch thickness, season all over with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then sear in olive oil over medium-high heat until deep golden on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  2. Reduce heat to medium, add 1 tbsp butter and minced garlic, stir 30 seconds, then pour in broth and lemon juice. Return chicken to the pan, cover, and cook 5 to 7 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  3. Meanwhile, boil egg noodles in salted water until tender, drain well, and toss with the remaining 2 tbsp butter until glossy.
  4. Slice chicken, serve over buttered noodles, spoon pan sauce on top, and finish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing so the juices settle. The pan sauce will be thin and brothy, not a thick gravy, which is exactly how it should coat the noodles without weighing them down.
