Instructions
- 01
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. If the breasts are very thick, you may pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- 02
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes per side until golden-brown.
- 03
Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
- 04
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in egg noodles. Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes until noodles are tender and chicken reaches 165°F.
- 05
Remove skillet from heat. Stir in remaining 3 tablespoons of butter until melted. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- 06
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Variations for Chicken with Buttered Noodles
- One of my favorite things about this recipe is how easily you can make it your own. Don’t have parsley? No problem, fresh thyme or even a sprinkle of rosemary works beautifully.
- Feeling fancy? Add a handful of baby spinach or chopped kale when you stir in the butter; it wilts perfectly into the hot noodles. For extra richness, try stirring in a splash of heavy cream or a handful of grated Parmesan at the end.
- My neighbor swears by adding mushrooms with the garlic, and sometimes I’ll toss in frozen peas during the last minute of cooking for a pop of color. The possibilities are endless!
