Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Return the chicken breasts to the pot. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.

Add the egg noodles to the soup and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
