Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. - Cook the Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and thyme. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let rest for a few minutes before slicing. - Make the Buttered Noodles:
In the same skillet, add 3 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Toss in the cooked noodles and mix until evenly coated in the buttery garlic sauce. - Assemble and Serve:
Plate the buttered noodles and top with sliced chicken. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and fresh parsley for garnish.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove with a little butter to keep the noodles moist.
- Optional Add-ins: Add steamed veggies like broccoli or spinach for a healthier twist.
