Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

8 ounces egg noodles

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Chicken: While the noodles are cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

      Sear the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a plate.

        Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

          Add Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and allow to reduce slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

            Incorporate Cream: Stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the sauce simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

              Combine: Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return it to the skillet. Add the cooked noodles to the sauce, tossing everything together. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

                Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

                    - Presentation Tips: Serve the chicken and buttered noodles in shallow bowls for an elegant touch. Drizzle extra sauce on top and finish with a parsley sprig and a sprinkle of Parmesan for a pop of color.
