Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 cups egg noodles

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup broccoli florets

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

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs, then place them in the skillet. Sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

      Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the egg noodles and broccoli florets. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and the broth is mostly absorbed.

        Reduce the heat to low and return the chicken thighs to the pan. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and fold everything gently to coat the noodles and chicken in the buttery sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

          Remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving for a touch of freshness.
