Baking Tips

Pound chicken to even thickness for consistent cooking

Don't move the chicken while searing to develop a golden crust

Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness

Fresh herbs make a significant difference in flavor

Let chicken rest after cooking to keep it juicy

For extra richness, use half butter and half olive oil for cooking

Warm your serving plates for a restaurant-style presentation

Don't overcook the garlic in the herb butter - it should be fragrant, not brown

For gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour and pasta

Instructions

Prepare the chicken: Pat chicken breasts dry and pound to even 3/4-inch thickness. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and thyme.

Dredge chicken: Coat each chicken breast thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off excess. Let rest for 5 minutes to set the coating.

Cook noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.

Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes without moving them, until golden brown.

Flip and finish: Turn chicken over, add 2 tablespoons butter to the pan, and cook for another 5-6 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Rest the chicken: Remove chicken to a plate and tent with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices.

Make the pan sauce: In the same skillet, add chicken broth and wine, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.

Prepare herb butter: Add remaining 6 tablespoons butter to the pan along with minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Combine noodles: Add drained noodles to the skillet and toss with the herb butter. Add cream, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Toss well.

Finish the dish: Add fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese to the noodles. Season with salt and pepper. Add pasta water if needed for silkiness.

Slice and serve: Slice the rested chicken and arrange over the buttered noodles. Drizzle with any accumulated juices and garnish with fresh herbs.
