Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Season chicken thighs with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

- Return chicken to the skillet to warm through before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the chicken before serving or substitute egg noodles with your favorite pasta shape.
