Prep Time15 minutes

Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups egg noodles
  • 1 cup carrots sliced
  • 1 cup celery sliced
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Start by shredding your cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Slice the carrots and celery, chop the onion, and mince the garlic. Having everything prepped before you start cooking makes the process smooth and fast.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften and release their aromas.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper, but keep the salt moderate as you can adjust later. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  • Once boiling, add the egg noodles to the pot. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes, until the noodles are tender but still have a slight bite. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking.
  • Add the shredded chicken to the pot. Let everything simmer together for 5 more minutes so the flavors meld and the chicken heats through. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Ladle the chicken and noodles into bowls and serve hot. This dish is perfect on its own or paired with a simple side salad or crusty bread.

Equipment

  • Large Pot

Notes

  • Use leftover or rotisserie chicken to save time without sacrificing flavor.
  • Add a splash of white wine when sautéing veggies for extra flavor.
  • Don’t overcook the egg noodles to keep a perfect texture.
  • Fresh thyme can substitute dried thyme; double the amount for brightness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat gently with added broth.
