Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 12 ounces Egg noodles
- 2 large, sliced Carrot
- 2 large, diced Celery stalk
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) Fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and diced celery to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened and fragrant.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot.
Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle in the dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Set aside.
Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook for 6-8 minutes, or according to the package instructions, until tender.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir everything together. Allow it to warm through for 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
