Instructions

In a large pot or deep skillet with a lid, boil chicken broth and bouillon over medium-high heat, stirring until the bouillon dissolves.
Add egg noodles and stir. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.
Mix in cream of chicken soup, butter, salt, and black pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring until butter melts and the mixture is creamy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth or milk to adjust the consistency as needed.
Serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, consider sautéing some garlic before adding the broth.
This dish can be made ahead of time; just ensure to reheat gently to maintain creaminess.
Feel free to add vegetables like peas or carrots for extra nutrition.
