Equipment
- 1 large pot
- 1 strainer
- 1 large skillet
- 1 wooden spoon
- 1 cutting board
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.5 lbs total.
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- for garnish, optional fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set aside.
- While the noodles are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet along with the butter. Stir gently until the butter melts and coats the noodles evenly, about 2 minutes.
- Slice the rested chicken breasts and serve them over the buttery noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and enjoy!
