Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups chicken broth

8 oz egg noodles

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup heavy cream

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Season the Chicken: In a bowl, season the chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Make sure they are well-coated with the spices.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken thighs and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Cook the Noodles: In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually around 7-10 minutes, until al dente, stirring occasionally.

        Return the Chicken: Once the noodles are almost cooked, nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet with the noodles and broth. Cover and let simmer together for an additional 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

          Make it Creamy: Stir in the butter, heavy cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and Parmesan cheese into the skillet with the chicken and noodles. Mix until everything is well combined and the noodles are creamy.

            Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

              Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley on top.

                  Presentation Tips: Serve the chicken and noodles family-style in the skillet for a rustic look, or plate individually and sprinkle with extra parsley and a lemon wedge on the side for a vibrant touch.
