Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

8 ounces egg noodles

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Zest of 1 lemon

Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Noodles: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Prepare the Chicken: While the noodles are cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme on both sides.

      Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

        Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Stir in heavy cream and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

          Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet. Add lemon zest and fresh parsley. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

            Butter the Noodles: In a separate bowl, mix the drained noodles with unsalted butter, tossing until melted and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Serve: Slice the chicken and arrange it over a bed of buttered noodles. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
