Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

2 cups egg noodles

1 cup frozen peas

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Season the Chicken: Generously season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

      Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

        Add Chicken Broth and Herbs: Pour in the chicken broth and mix in the dried Italian herbs. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

          Cook the Noodles: Add the egg noodles directly into the skillet. Stir well to combine and let them cook in the broth for about 7-10 minutes, or until they are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid, stirring occasionally.

            Incorporate Peas: During the last 2 minutes of cooking the noodles, stir in the frozen peas and return the chicken to the skillet to heat through.

              Finish with Butter and Cheese: Once the noodles and peas are cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the butter and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.

                Serve: Plate the chicken on top of the buttered noodles, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
