Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups egg noodles (optional)

Method
 

  1. Brown the chicken thighs in olive oil until golden on both sides, then set aside.
  2. Sauté the onion, carrots, and celery until softened, then add garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. Add chicken broth, bay leaves, and thyme, then return the chicken to the pot and simmer.
  4. Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot.
  5. If using, add egg noodles and cook until tender.
  6. Finish with fresh parsley and adjust seasoning before serving.

Notes

Use quality broth for best flavor. Maintain a gentle simmer to keep the broth clear and chicken tender. Store noodles separately if meal prepping.
