Ingredients
Scale
1 whole chicken (about 4–5 pounds)
8 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, diced
3 carrots, sliced
3 celery stalks, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups egg noodles
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Place the seasoned chicken into the Dutch oven, along with the chicken broth. Add the thyme, parsley, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the Dutch oven. Let it simmer for about 40-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Carefully take the chicken out of the broth and set it aside to cool slightly. Remove the bay leaf from the pot and discard.
Bring the broth back to a gentle boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes.
While the noodles are cooking, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, discarding the skin and bones.
Once the noodles are cooked, return the shredded chicken to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
