Directions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the wide egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
-
While the noodles cook, season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
-
Heat the butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
-
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add any desired cream sauce ingredients (such as broth, cream, or garlic) if available, otherwise proceed to combine.
-
Add the cooked noodles and sliced chicken back into the skillet. Toss gently to combine and coat everything in the residual flavors and fat.
-
Serve immediately while hot.
