Ingredients

Scale

The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients—fresh chicken and good-quality butter make all the difference here. When I first started cooking professionally in the US, I learned the importance of sourcing ingredients that speak for themselves, rather than masking flavors with heavy sauces or too many spices. For these noodles, I recommend using unsalted butter so you can control the seasoning perfectly, and fresh parsley adds a lovely pop of color and freshness at the end.

  • 12 ounces egg noodles or your favorite pasta
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (homemade or low-sodium store-bought)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

If you’re looking to swap ingredients, feel free to use whole wheat pasta for a healthier twist or substitute the chicken with turkey or even tofu to accommodate dietary preferences.

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same pan, reduce heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter along with the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it reduce slightly for about 3 minutes, which intensifies the flavors and helps create a light sauce.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet along with the cooked noodles. Toss everything together, coating the noodles and chicken in the buttery garlic sauce.
  6. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Stir in chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
  7. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if you like. This extra touch adds a beautiful umami depth.
