Ingredients:
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 8 ounces egg noodles
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Spice Up Your Life: Rub those chicken breasts down with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let them bask in the flavors while you move on to the next step.
2. Golden Brown Deliciousness: Heat your olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Lay those seasoned chicken breasts gently into the pan and let them sizzle away for about 6-7 minutes per side. You’re aiming for that perfect golden brown color and a juicy inside (check for an internal temp of 165°F or 75°C). Once they’re cooked through, set them aside to rest and contemplate their deliciousness.
3. Noodle Time! Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add your egg noodles and cook them according to the package directions until they’re perfectly al dente. Drain them well and return them to the pot.
4. The Buttery Embrace: While the noodles are still warm from their bubbly bath, toss in the unsalted butter and stir until it melts into a creamy dream coating every strand.
5. Parmesan Shower: Now, for the pièce de résistance – sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it’s evenly distributed. Give it a taste and adjust the salt and pepper to your liking.
6. Plating Perfection: Slice your rested chicken breasts and arrange them over a bed of those glorious, cheesy noodles. Finish with a flourish of chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color.
