Ingredients

• 8 ounces egg noodles
• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 medium, diced carrot
• 1 diced celery stalk
• 0.5 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest. After cooling slightly, shred the chicken with a fork.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the diced carrot, celery, and onion, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute to mix well.

Step 7

Slowly stir in the chicken broth and milk, whisking to combine. Bring to a simmer and let the mixture thicken, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 8

Add the shredded chicken back into the skillet along with the cooked egg noodles. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Taste and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
