Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sautΓ© for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, and sugar. Mix well to combine.
Add the chicken broth to the tomato mixture and stir. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato sauce. Cover with a lid and let the chicken simmer over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165Β°F). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the chicken is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with butter to coat.
Serve the chicken and tomato sauce over the buttery egg noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
