  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle in dried herbs. Scrape any bits off the bottom of the pan.
  3. Stir in the egg noodles, ensuring they are well-coated with the broth mixture. Cook according to package instructions until al dente.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, add remaining butter, and stir everything together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
