Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 medium celery stalks
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 8 cups chicken broth
• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 cup heavy cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the carrots. Slice the celery, and dice the onion. Mince the garlic and set all vegetables aside.

Step 2

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper, then sear them in the pot for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Add the thyme, parsley, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 6

Return the chicken breasts to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and easy to shred.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back into the pot.

Step 8

Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

Step 9

If desired, stir in the heavy cream to create a richer broth.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy!
