Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion
- 3 clove garlic
- 0.5 lb carrots
- 0.5 bunch celery
- 2 piece chicken breasts
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 0.5 tsp dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 0.25 tsp freshly cracked pepper
- 8 cup water
- 2 tsp salt
- 6 oz egg noodles
Sauté Vegetables
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add the onion, garlic, and olive oil to a large pot and sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and transparent.
Add Vegetables
While the onion and garlic are sautéing, wash and slice the carrots and celery. Add them to the pot and continue to sauté for a few minutes more.
Cook Chicken
Pull the skin and any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Add the breasts to the pot along with the bay leaf, basil, parsley, thyme, some freshly cracked pepper, and 8 cups of water. Cover the pot, bring it to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for one hour.
Shred Chicken
After an hour of simmering, remove the chicken from the pot. Using two forks, pull the meat from the bone and shred it slightly. Season the broth with salt.
Cook Noodles
Add the noodles to the pot, turn the heat up to high, and boil the noodles until tender (about 7 minutes). Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Taste and season again with salt if needed.
