# Ingredients:
→ For the Chicken
01 -
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
03 -
Salt and pepper, to taste
04 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
06 -
1 teaspoon dried thyme
→ For the Noodles
07 -
8 oz egg noodles
08 -
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
09 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
10 -
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
11 -
½ teaspoon salt
12 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
13 -
Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (optional for garnish)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain the noodles and set aside, reserving a little pasta water for later.
02 -
While the noodles are cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme on both sides.
03 -
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
04 -
In the same skillet, add butter and olive oil. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
05 -
Add the drained noodles to the skillet, tossing them in the butter and garlic mixture until evenly coated. If the noodles seem dry, add a small amount of reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
06 -
Season the noodles with salt and pepper to taste, and toss again to combine.
07 -
Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips.
08 -
Plate the buttered noodles and top with the sliced chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil, if desired, and serve immediately.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F/75°C before serving to ensure it is fully cooked.
