Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 medium, diced carrot
- 1 diced celery stalk
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest. After cooling slightly, shred the chicken with a fork.
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the diced carrot, celery, and onion, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute to mix well.
Slowly stir in the chicken broth and milk, whisking to combine. Bring to a simmer and let the mixture thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the shredded chicken back into the skillet along with the cooked egg noodles. Stir to combine.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
