Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 3 medium, sliced carrots
- 3 sliced celery stalks
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them in the pot for 4-5 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add the carrots, celery, and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, and stir in the thyme, parsley, and bay leaf.
Return the chicken breasts to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks. Discard the bay leaf.
Add the egg noodles to the pot and simmer for an additional 8-10 minutes until the noodles are soft.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
