Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup egg noodles or wide egg noodles
  • 1 medium carrot peeled and diced

  • 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Method
 

Steps
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add chicken breast, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  5. Remove chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return shredded chicken to the pot.
  6. Add egg noodles and cook for 8–10 minutes until tender.
  7. Remove bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

For a richer broth, use homemade chicken stock. To make it gluten-free, substitute with gluten-free noodles. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
