When chicken is cool enough to handle, discard skin and bones and cut chicken into 1-inch squares.
Meanwhile, lightly brown almonds in 1 tablespoon of the butter and set aside.
Return boned chicken to cooking pan with remaining 1 tablespoon butter, orange peel, lemon peel, sour cream, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of the chicken broth.

Cook noodles in a large kettle of boiling salted water until al dente (1 to 2 minutes for fresh noodles, or follow package directions).
Drain, then add noodles to chicken mixture and stir lightly.
Spoon into a serving dish; top with almonds and parsley.
