Equipment
- Grill
- Tongs
- Strainer
- Large pot
- Aluminum foil
Ingredients
- 3 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttered egg noodles (use more or less depending on preference)
- 3 tbsp butter
- Italian seasoning
- Garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Season the chicken
Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Sprinkle both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (about ½ teaspoon each, or adjust to taste).
2. Grill the chicken
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lay a sheet of aluminum foil on the grates and place the chicken on top. Grill until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C), flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Remove the foil and finish grilling the chicken directly on the grates until it reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a plate and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
3. Cook the noodles
While the chicken cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook until al dente, following package directions.
4. Butter and season
Drain the noodles and return them to the pot while hot. Stir in the butter until melted, then season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
5. Plate and serve
Slice the grilled chicken and layer it over the buttered noodles. Serve warm and enjoy your viral-worthy comfort meal!
