How to Make It
-
Cook the noodles according to package directions in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
-
Season the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and any optional herbs.
-
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5–7 minutes, flipping once, until golden and cooked through.
-
In a large pot or bowl, toss the drained noodles with butter until well-coated. Stir in Parmesan and parsley, if using. Add salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve the chicken on top of or mixed into the buttered noodles. Garnish with extra herbs or cheese if desired.
Variations
-
Add sautéed mushrooms or peas for a veggie boost.
-
Use shredded rotisserie chicken for a quicker version.
-
Sprinkle with lemon zest or a dash of hot sauce for a kick.
-
Make it creamy by adding a spoonful of sour cream or cream cheese to the noodles.
