Instructions
- 1. Prepare your ingredients. Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

- 7. Return the cooked chicken and egg noodles to the skillet. Toss until well coated in the sauce.
- 8. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
- 9. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.
- 10. Serve immediately, garnishing each plate with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
