Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder

Step 1: Season the Chicken

1. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels, then season them evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 2: Sear the Chicken

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat.
2. Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the pan in a single layer (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding).
3. Sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes , turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Aromatics

1. In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.
2. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds–1 minute , stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4: Add Liquids and Noodles

1. Pour in the chicken broth and water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to incorporate the flavor.
2. Stir in the egg noodles, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

Step 5: Simmer and Combine

1. Return the seared chicken pieces to the pan, nestling them into the noodles and broth.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pan.
3. Simmer for 8–10 minutes , stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

1. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
2. Divide the chicken and buttered noodles among serving plates. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) for a pop of color.
3. Serve hot and enjoy this cozy, one-pan meal!

Pro Tips

• Add Veggies: Toss in chopped spinach, peas, or diced bell peppers during the last 3–5 minutes of cooking for added nutrition and color.
• Creamy Twist: Stir in a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream at the end for a richer, creamier sauce.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days . Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or water to loosen the noodles.
