For the Buttered Noodles:

6 tablespoons butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup reserved chicken cooking liquid

2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)

Instructions

Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Season generously on all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown chicken pieces on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.

Add chicken broth, bay leaf, and quartered onion to the pot. The liquid should just cover the chicken. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until chicken is tender and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).

Remove chicken from the pot and set aside to cool slightly. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid and strain out solids. Keep chicken warm.

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook egg noodles according to package directions until tender but still firm. Drain well.

In the same pot used for noodles, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the drained noodles to the butter and garlic, tossing gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

Add 1/4 cup of the reserved chicken cooking liquid and heavy cream if using. Toss to create a silky coating on the noodles.

Remove skin from chicken if desired and shred or cut meat into bite-sized pieces. Discard bones.

Serve the buttered noodles in bowls topped with the chicken pieces. Ladle a little extra cooking liquid over each serving if desired.

Garnish with fresh parsley, chives, and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately with additional butter and lemon wedges on the side.
