Creating Chicken Buttered Noodles can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet.
3. Cook the Chicken: Once the butter is melted, add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked and browned.
4. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Combine with Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
6. Mix in the Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing to coat them in the broth and butter mixture.
7. Finish with Butter: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the noodles evenly.
8. Garnish: Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
