Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 cup chicken broth

8 ounces egg noodles

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 cup fresh spinach (optional)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the seasoned chicken thighs. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

      Deglaze the Pan: In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom to release any browned bits, adding depth of flavor.

        Cook the Noodles: Bring the broth to a simmer and add the egg noodles. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, stirring occasionally.

          Combine Ingredients: Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the unsalted butter until melted. If using, add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted.

            Add Chicken Back: Return the chicken thighs to the pan, nestling them among the noodles. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and allow everything to heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

              Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious one-pan meal!
