Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 12 ounces Egg noodles
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a medium-sized pot and pour in the chicken broth.
Bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the chicken for 12-15 minutes or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
While the chicken is cooking, measure out the remaining ingredients and set them aside.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and set it on a cutting board to cool slightly. Do not discard the broth.
Add the egg noodles to the simmering chicken broth. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions (typically 8-10 minutes) or until tender.
While the noodles are cooking, shred the chicken using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot with the cooked noodles.
Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Add the butter and stir until melted, giving the dish a creamy texture.
Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.
