Prep time: 10-15 minutes

Cook time: 45-60 minutes

Wait time: 0

Total time: 60-75 minutes

Equipment: Cutting board, sharp knife, large pot or dutch oven, sheet tray, foil, measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients:

  • 2 large chicken breasts or 1 medium whole chicken

  • 1 lb egg noodles

  • 2 pints chicken stock

  • 1 medium onion

  • 1 head of garlic

  • 4-5 carrots

  • 1- 1 ½ cup frozen peas

  • 1 large pinch parsley

  • 3-4 bay leaves

  • 1 tbsp Salt

  • 1-2 tsp Pepper

  • 1 tbsp Olive oil

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 425f

  • Line a sheet tray with foil and place 2 chicken breasts, or 1 small - medium whole chicken on the sheet tray.

  • Drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil and 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper. Place chicken in the oven and roast for 30-45 minutes. (Could be longer depending on your size of chicken. Check with a meat thermometer, but as the chicken will cook more it does not have to reach 165 in the oven. 150-155 will be plenty.)

  • Dice the onion and 4-5 carrots into large bite size pieces and set aside.

  • Cut the head of garlic in half and set aside.

  • Place a large pot or dutch oven over medium high heat and toss in your diced veggies along with 1 tsp of olive oil and ½ tsp salt. Saute until just starting to soften, about 8-10 minutes.

  • Remove veggies from pot and pour in 2 cups of high quality stock and 2-3 cups water, or 4 - 6 cups of box stock, and 1 head of garlic; halved. Place over medium high heat and bring to a boil.

  • Pull chicken from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Once cooled down, debone and shred, into larger strips/pieces, and set aside.

  • Once stock is at a boil, pour in 1lb of egg noddles and cook for five minutes. After 5 minutes, pour the veggies, chicken, and 1 tsp of olive oil into the pot and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-4 minutes or until everything is warmed through again and fully cooked.

  • Serve immediately with some chopped parsley and a spin or two of fresh cracked pepper.
