Ingredients

  • lb boneless skinless chicken (breasts or thighs), cut into 2–3 large pieces each
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter, divided
  • 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  • 8 oz wide egg noodles (about 4 cups)
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • cup grated Parmesan (optional)
  • chopped parsley to finish (optional)

Equipment

  • large skillet (with lid optional)
  • tongs
  • Wooden spoon
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • Instant-read thermometer
  • grater (for Parmesan, optional)

Method

  • Heat oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Sear 3–4 minutes per side until golden; remove to a plate.
  • Lower heat to medium. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds. Pour in ½ cup stock to deglaze, scraping browned bits.
  • Add remaining stock, onion powder, and egg noodles. Simmer 6–7 minutes, stirring, until noodles are just tender.
  • Return chicken to the pan with lemon juice, remaining 1 tbsp butter, and Parmesan. Toss until glossy and the chicken reads 165°F (breasts) or 175°F (thighs). Rest 2–3 minutes; serve.

Notes

Sauce too thick? Add a splash of stock. Too thin? Simmer 1–2 minutes. Make it a casserole: transfer to a dish, top with extra Parmesan, and bake 8 minutes. No green onion used.
