Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
  • 2 cups diced fresh carrots (about 2 medium)
  • 2 cups diced celery (about 2 stalks)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cups wide egg noodles
  • 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients by chopping carrots, celery, onion, and mincing garlic.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Sear seasoned chicken breasts for about five minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from pot and set aside.
  3. Sauté chopped onions, celery, and carrots in the same pot for about six minutes. Add garlic during the last minute.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and dried thyme. Bring to a gentle boil while scraping any bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Once boiling, add egg noodles and shredded chicken, cooking until noodles are al dente according to package instructions (about eight minutes).
  6. Taste for seasoning before serving. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
