Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken breast
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium Carrots, diced
• 2 stalks Celery stalks, diced
• 8 cups Chicken broth
• 2 cups Egg noodles
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 tsp Crushed red chili flakes
• 1 small Red chili pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 cup Water (if needed)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breast with 0.5 tsp of salt and 0.5 tsp of ground black pepper.

Step 2

In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken breast until lightly browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes each. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften and the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Return the seared chicken breast to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 5

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, partially covered, until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.

Step 7

Add the egg noodles, fresh thyme leaves, and crushed red chili flakes. Let the soup simmer for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

Step 8

Stir in the chopped parsley, sliced red chili pepper, and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or chili flakes if desired.

Step 9

If the soup appears too thick, add up to 1 cup of water to reach your desired consistency. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Enjoy your spicy and heartwarming Chicken Noodle Soup with a Lady's Kick!
