3 cloves garlic minced
2 cups chicken broth
8 oz 225 g egg noodles
1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Cook the chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Add to the pan and cook for about 5–6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
Remove and set aside.
Build the base
In the same pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Cook the noodles
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a light boil.
Add the egg noodles and Italian seasoning.
Stir, reduce heat to medium, and let simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Combine everything
Return the cooked chicken to the pan.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and Parmesan cheese.
Toss everything together until the noodles are glossy and coated.
Finish and serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm straight from the pan.
