To make chicken with buttered noodles, you need a few key ingredients. The main star is chicken breasts. I prefer using boneless and skinless for ease. You will also need olive oil to sear the chicken. Four cloves of minced garlic add a great flavor boost. Chicken broth makes the sauce rich, while heavy cream gives it a creamy texture. Dried thyme and oregano bring warmth to the dish, and salt and pepper enhance the taste.

Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

8 oz egg noodles

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Cook the Noodles: 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.

    Sear the Chicken: While the noodles are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

      Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

        Add Cream and Herbs: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.

          Combine Chicken and Sauce: Slice the rested chicken and return it to the skillet, coating it well with the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

            Butter the Noodles: In a large bowl, combine the drained noodles with butter, parsley, and grated Parmesan. Toss until the noodles are well coated.

              Serve: Plate the buttered noodles, then top with the creamy garlic chicken and a generous drizzle of the sauce.
