Cooking
  1. In a large pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the pan. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until tender.
  4. Once the noodles are cooked, return the chicken to the pan and add the remaining butter. Stir until the butter melts and everything is well combined.
  5. Garnish with parsley if desired, and serve.
