Ingredients:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth

• 1 cup carrots, sliced

• 1 cup celery, sliced

• 1 medium onion, finely chopped

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 2 bay leaves

• 1 tsp dried thyme

• 1 tsp dried parsley

• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

• 2 cups egg noodles

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Cook the Chicken:

• Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

• Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

• Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes. Then shred the chicken using two forks and set aside.

2. Prepare the Soup:

• In a large pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

• Pour in the chicken broth, and add bay leaves, dried thyme, dried parsley, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

• Add the shredded chicken to the pot and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

3. Cook the Noodles:

• Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain and set aside.

4. Finish the Soup:

• Once the soup is ready, remove the bay leaves and season with salt to taste.

• To serve, place a portion of cooked egg noodles into each bowl, and ladle the chicken noodle soup over them.

5. Enjoy the heartwarming goodness of classic chicken noodle soup!

Notes to make it better:

• You can add a splash of fresh lemon juice before serving to brighten up the flavors.

• For added richness, stir in a tablespoon of butter into the soup just before serving.

• Customize the soup by adding other vegetables like peas, bell peppers, or spinach.
