Scale

4 boneless

skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper

to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme

8 oz egg noodles

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic

minced

½ teaspoon salt

Freshly ground black pepper

to taste

Fresh parsley or basil

chopped

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions; drain.
In the same pot, melt the butter and add olive oil. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
Add the drained noodles to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
Serve the chicken over the buttered noodles and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil, if desired.

For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken for a few hours before cooking. Feel free to add vegetables to the noodles for extra nutrition.
