Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery to the pot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside on a cutting board to cool slightly.

While the noodles are cooking, shred the cooked chicken using two forks.
