Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Skinless chicken breast
- 250 grams Whole wheat noodles
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 medium Carrot
- 2 Celery stalks
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 liter Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Instructions
Begin by slicing the skinless chicken breast into thin strips and set aside.
Cook the whole wheat noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Chop the onion, garlic, carrot, celery, and red bell pepper into small, uniform pieces for even cooking.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the carrot, celery, and red bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the sliced chicken to the pot, stirring frequently until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the soy sauce, black pepper, and salt to taste.
Add the cooked noodles to the pot, mixing well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Allow the dish to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, distributing it evenly across the top.
Serve the hearty chicken noodles hot, enjoying the comforting and low-fat flavors.
