- 8 oz egg noodles
- 4 tbsp real butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
- Season your chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sear the chicken in a large skillet with melted butter over medium heat for 5–7 minutes per side or until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil.
