DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Wrap the garlic head in foil, and bake 30 minutes, until cloves are soft. Remove from heat, and cool enough to handle.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Slice off the top of the garlic head, and squeeze the softened cloves into a medium bowl. Mix in the chicken broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the chicken breast halves with flour, and cook in the skillet about 10 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Set chicken aside, retaining skillet juices. Stir in the garlic mixture, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and return chicken to the skillet. Continue cooking the chicken about 5 minutes on each side, until no longer pink and juices run clear. Remove chicken, and arrange on plates over the egg noodles.
Mix the butter into the garlic sauce mixture in the skillet until melted, and stir in the chives. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and egg noodles to serve.

This was so good! The first time I made it the sauce didn't quite coat all the noodles so we added some extra butter to them. After making this recipe again, I doubled the sauce and it was more than enough to cover all the noodles. 1.5 servings of the sauce may be more appropriate, but it was better to have extra than not enough.

I just made this for the second time, using the 4 person recipe. It turned out MUCH better using the original quantities than scaling down. If you're cooking for two, just make fewer noodles and only cook 2 chicken breasts. I wish I had taken a picture before we ate because it was really pretty this time, too. Just make sure to plan ahead for the 30 minutes to roast the garlic! Otherwise, the recipe doesn't take long to make at all.

We found this absolutely delicous! The sauce is just right; light and buttery, the chicken tender and moist. Quick and easy to throw together anytime.

This is a simple, flavorful chicken. I used two shortcuts. I skipped the roasted garlic step and just used crushed garlic and I used soup chicken rather than chicken breasts. I would recommend the first shortcut but not the second.

I cheated and just used minced garlic instead of roasting it. This was partly because I didn't feel like taking the extra time, and partly because I don't really care whether it's roasted or not. I thought it was a bit time-consuming even without that extra time. It was fairly good but would've been much better if the flavor of the sauce could come out more. But rather than doubling the sauce, I'd prefer halving the noodles. That's just a LOT of noodles and I think totally unnecessary. (Or maybe halve the noodles *and* double the sauce. :-)) I did not think it too lemony at all, which is a little strange, because I prefer lemon to be subtle and usually would be the first to say it's too much. Dunno.

This was great. I put it over brown rice instead of noodles. I would also recommend doubling the sauce. It was the best part.
