Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Noodles
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
Sauce
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare Chicken: If you don’t have pre-cooked chicken, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sauté over medium heat until fully cooked. Allow to cool slightly, then shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Melt Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it is fully liquid and begins to foam slightly.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken to the skillet with the melted butter. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and chicken broth. Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes to combine flavors and heat through the chicken thoroughly.
- Toss Noodles: Add the drained egg noodles to the skillet and toss everything together to evenly coat the noodles with the buttery chicken sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Plate the buttered noodles and garnish generously with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use freshly cooked chicken or leftover rotisserie chicken to save time.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine or lemon juice to the sauce.
- You can substitute butter with olive oil for a lighter version, though it will change the flavor profile.
- Fresh garlic can be used instead of garlic powder for more intense flavor.
- Garnishing with parsley not only adds color but also a fresh herbal note.
