Ingredients
- 8 oz noodles
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles thoroughly.
- Toss with butter and chicken: While the noodles are still warm, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and cooked chicken, tossing gently so the butter melts and coats the noodles evenly along with the chicken.
- Season: Season the buttered noodles and chicken mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all flavors.
- Serve: Serve the buttered noodles and chicken warm as a satisfying main dish or side.
Notes
- You can use any type of noodles such as egg noodles, spaghetti, or fettuccine.
- For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic sautéed in butter before tossing.
- Leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or basil for a fresh touch.
- Adjust butter quantity to taste for richer or lighter butter flavor.
