Ingredients
  • 8 ounce Noodles; no yolk egg type
  • 2 Chicken Breasts; halved,
Directions
  1. 1
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. 2
    Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. 3
    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil or butter. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
  4. 4
    In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add a pat of butter and the juice of one lemon. Stir in any accumulated juices from the chicken and let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes to slightly thicken.
  5. 5
    Slice the rested chicken breasts into strips. Toss the cooked noodles into the skillet with the lemon butter sauce, stirring to coat evenly.
  6. 6
    Divide the sauced noodles among serving plates and top with the sliced lemon chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon zest if desired.
