Ingredients

Scale

3 cups boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 4 breasts)
2 cups fresh carrots, diced
2 cups celery stalks, chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups egg noodles
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp olive oil

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onions, carrots, and celery until softened (about 5 minutes).
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then add chicken breasts and sear until golden brown on both sides.
Pour in chicken broth and add thyme and bay leaf. Bring to a gentle boil while scraping any bits from the bottom of the pot.
Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken from the pot and shred it once cool enough to handle. Stir in egg noodles and return shredded chicken to the pot; cook until noodles are tender (7-9 minutes). Season with salt and pepper before serving.
