Follow these easy steps to create your Chicken with Buttered Noodles:
1. Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: While the noodles are cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, onion powder, and dried parsley on both sides.
3. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through.
4. Add Garlic: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
5. Combine Noodles and Chicken: Add the drained noodles to the skillet with the garlic. Toss to combine, then slice the chicken and nestle it among the noodles.
6. Finish with Butter: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet, stirring to coat the noodles and chicken evenly.
7. Serve: If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and additional parsley before serving.
