Description
Juicy chicken breasts paired with buttery garlic noodles in one easy skillet meal. Comforting, rich, and ready in under 40 minutes.
Ingredients
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
8 oz egg noodles
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta water.
2. Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken 6–7 minutes per side until golden and 165°F inside.
3. Remove chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4. In the same skillet, melt butter and olive oil. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, 1–2 minutes.
5. Toss the noodles in the butter mixture, adding reserved pasta water as needed for creaminess. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Slice the chicken, plate it over noodles, and garnish with parsley or basil before serving.
Notes
Swap chicken breasts for thighs for juicier flavor.
Add Parmesan or cream for richness.
Include red pepper flakes for spice.
Pair with salad, roasted vegetables, or garlic bread for a complete meal.
