Equipment
- Large Pot
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 boneless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 carrots sliced
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 6 oz egg noodles
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sear chicken breasts on both sides for about 3 minutes each until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté onion, carrots, and celery for 4–5 minutes until softened.
- Add garlic, thyme, oregano, and bay leaf. Stir for 30 seconds to release aromas.
- Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits. Return seared chicken to the pot and bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove chicken, shred with forks, and return it to the pot.
- Add egg noodles and simmer for 6–7 minutes until tender.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For best results, sear your chicken first and don’t overcook the noodles. Add lemon juice at the end for brightness. Freeze without noodles to avoid mushy texture upon reheating.
