Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

8 oz egg noodles

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

      Cook the Noodles: In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

        Make the Sauce: In the same skillet used for the chicken, reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining butter and minced garlic, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

          Add Cream and Lemon: Pour in the heavy cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and simmer for about 3-4 minutes or until the sauce slightly thickens.

            Combine: Add the cooked noodles to the sauce and toss to coat thoroughly. Slice the chicken and place it on top of the creamy noodles.

              Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional lemon zest if desired.
