Equipment

  • Paper towels
  • Medium bowl

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 12 oz Egg Noodles medium or wide
  • 4 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter divided
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Parsley
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste
  • Fresh Parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Pat the chicken dry and toss with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, salt, and pepper until coated.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, then remove and set aside.
  • Deglaze the pan with a splash of chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Add the remaining chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Add egg noodles to the simmering broth, stir, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender and liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
  • Return chicken to the pan with noodles. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 teaspoons dried parsley, stirring gently until butter melts and chicken is heated through.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes with the spices for a subtle kick. Ensure your skillet is oven-safe if you plan to keep the dish warm in the oven before serving.
