Old-fashioned Hearty Chicken Noodle Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same pot, add chopped onion, sliced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

3. 3

   Add Broth and Seasonings

   Pour in the chicken broth, then add the salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil.

4. 4

   Cook the Chicken

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pot and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink inside.

5. 5

   Shred the Chicken

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

6. 6

   Cook the Noodles

   Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes, until tender.

7. 7

   Finish and Serve

   Remove the bay leaf, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
