Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breasts or thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley optional
- 1 lemon cut into wedges, optional
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- While the noodles cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, until browned and the thickest pieces reach 165°F (74°C). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the butter, allowing it to melt completely. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat in the melted butter.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the chicken and butter, tossing well to ensure the noodles are fully coated. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh finish.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning to the chicken while cooking. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
