Chicken Noodle Dinner

Instructions

1. In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat.

2. Add the whole chicken breasts to the pot and let them cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the broth and set it aside to cool.

3. Add the chopped carrots, celery, onion, minced garlic, bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot with the chicken broth. Let the vegetables simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until they start to soften.

4. While the vegetables are cooking, shred the cooled chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.

5. Add the shredded chicken back to the pot along with the wide egg noodles. Let the soup simmer for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked to your desired level of tenderness.

6. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

7. Discard the bay leaves from the pot before serving.

8. Ladle the steaming hot chicken noodle dinner into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

9. Serve the soup hot and enjoy the comforting goodness of homemade chicken noodle dinner!
