A comforting one-pan meal featuring tender seared chicken and garlicky buttered noodles that come together quickly for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 4 tbsp real butter, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep: Mince the garlic and pat chicken dry. Season both sides of the breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat skillet: Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon butter until it foams.
  3. Sear chicken: Place the breasts in the skillet and sear 5 minutes without moving until golden. Flip and sear the second side 5 minutes until golden and mostly cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate.
  4. Sauté garlic: Reduce heat to medium, add the minced garlic to the skillet, and cook 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant—do not let it brown.
  5. Add broth: Pour in 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  6. Cook noodles: Stir in the egg noodles, return to a simmer, and cook 8 to 10 minutes until noodles are al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Finish: Return the chicken to the skillet to warm through for a minute. Remove from heat, stir in the remaining butter until glossy, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

Notes

Serve chicken whole or sliced over noodles, and pair with a green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
