Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, approximately 6-8 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the browned chicken to the pot and add chicken broth, fresh thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

  2. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

  3. 5

    Cook the Noodles

    Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes.
