Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
  • 8 oz egg noodles Can substitute with whole wheat or gluten-free options
  • 4 tbsp real butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your skillet and prepare your ingredients by chopping the garlic and any desired vegetables.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp of butter and sear the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Once the chicken is browned, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring it to a boil, scraping up any flavorful bits stuck to the pan.
  5. Stir in the egg noodles and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked al dente.
  6. Remove from heat, stir in the remaining butter, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For added depth of flavor, consider deglazing the pan with white wine after searing the chicken. Don't skip the fresh parsley for added flavor and a beautiful presentation.
