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)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in a medium-sized pot and pour in the chicken broth.

Step 2

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).

Step 3

While the chicken is cooking, measure out the remaining ingredients and set them aside.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Add the egg noodles to the simmering chicken broth. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions (typically 8-10 minutes) or until tender.

Step 6

While the noodles are cooking, shred the chicken using two forks.

Step 7

Return the shredded chicken to the pot with the cooked noodles.

Step 8

Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 9

Add the butter and stir until melted, giving the dish a creamy texture.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.
