Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 12 ounces (340 grams) egg noodles
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Fats and Herbs:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Blend aromatic spices including garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, thoroughly massaging into each side of the chicken cutlets.
- Warm olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium flame, carefully positioning chicken pieces to achieve an even golden sear, cooking approximately 6-7 minutes per side until completely cooked through, then transfer to a resting plate.
- Prepare egg noodles following package guidelines, ensuring precise al dente texture, then carefully drain while reserving a small amount of cooking liquid.
- Return noodles to the warm pot, immediately introducing rich butter, gently tossing until each strand becomes luxuriously coated and glistening, then seasoning with complementary spices like garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Optional enhancement involves delicately chopping fresh parsley and folding into the buttered noodles for an aromatic finish.
- Slice the perfectly cooked chicken into elegant diagonal strips, artfully arranging atop the creamy, herb-infused noodle base, creating a visually appealing and delectable meal.
Notes
- Choose bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts for extra juiciness and deeper flavor that keeps the meat tender during cooking.
- Pat chicken dry before seasoning to ensure crispy, golden-brown exterior that seals in moisture and prevents steaming.
- Customize spice blend by adding smoked paprika or dried herbs like thyme for a more complex flavor profile that elevates the simple dish.
- Make this recipe gluten-free by substituting egg noodles with zucchini noodles or gluten-free pasta alternatives for those with dietary restrictions.
