Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter, and sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Transfer the browned chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  4. Deglaze the skillet with ½ cup chicken broth, scraping up brown bits and allowing it to bubble for a minute.
  5. Add egg noodles to the skillet, stir, bring to boil, cover, and simmer for 6-8 minutes until tender and most broth is absorbed.
  6. Remove the lid and stir in remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, parsley, and additional garlic powder to taste.
  7. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet to reheat for a couple of minutes.
  8. Serve the dish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
