Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 whole chicken (about 3-4 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 3 celery ribs, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups egg noodles
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirrin’ it around so it don’t burn.
- Next, toss in the whole chicken and pour the chicken broth over it. Add the thyme, bay leaf, and sprinkle some salt and pepper in there too.
- Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 1 hour, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Carefully remove the chicken and set it aside to cool. Once it’s cool enough to handle, shred that meat off the bones and chop it into bite-sized pieces.
- Strain the broth to remove any veggies and bones, and then return it to the pot. Bring the broth back to a simmer.
- Add the egg noodles, and let ’em cook for about 6-8 minutes until they’re al dente. Then, stir in the shredded chicken.
- Adjust the seasonin’ if necessary, and garnish with fresh parsley before servin’!
