Begin by cooking the egg noodles.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and brown for about 5-7 minutes on each side.
Remove the chicken and let it rest before slicing.
Add the remaining butter and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for about 1 minute.
Stir in the cooked egg noodles, thyme, and a splash of reserved pasta water.
Slice the rested chicken and serve it over the buttered noodles.
