  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat, cook egg noodles to al dente and drain water. Return egg noodles to pot.
  • Add butter and stir until melted. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally so that you have 8 thinner cutlets. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. In batches, add chicken cutlets and cook until golden brown and an internal temperature of 75°C / 165°F is reached, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in white wine and cook until it’s reduced by half, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in Dijon mustard and stock. Add butter and cook, stirring, until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Add parsley, chives, salt and black pepper.
  • Return chicken cutlets to skillet, tossing in sauce to coat. Serve with buttered noodles, spooning the sauce over the top. Garnish with additional parsley.
