🍳 Instructions:

1. Season & Sear Chicken:

   • Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

   • In a large deep skillet or sauté pan, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat.

   • Add chicken and sear 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside (don’t worry if it’s not fully cooked yet).

2. Cook the Noodles:

   • In the same pan, pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

   • Stir in the egg noodles and a pinch of salt.

   • Cover and cook for 7–9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are just tender.

3. Return Chicken & Finish:

   • Nestle the chicken back on top of the noodles.

   • Cover and cook another 5–8 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C) and broth is mostly absorbed.

4. Add Butter & Toss:

   • Add the butter and Italian seasoning.

   • Gently stir noodles to coat in the buttery sauce (you can remove chicken briefly to stir, then return it).

5. Serve:

   • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan if desired.

   • Serve hot — enjoy the tender chicken with buttery, savory noodles!
