– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 8 ounces egg noodles

– 1 cup chicken broth
– Salt, to taste
– Pepper, to taste
– 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or fresh, chopped)

Creating Chicken with Buttered Noodles is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Cook Noodles: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Then, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Chicken: While the noodles are cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through and golden brown.
3. Add Garlic: In the last few minutes of cooking the chicken, add minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. Make Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
5. Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and dried parsley. Toss everything together until well mixed and heated through.
6. Slice Chicken: Slice the cooked chicken breasts and serve them on top of the buttery noodles.
7. Garnish (Optional): If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor.
