Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (to cover the dutch oven)
  • 3 large carrots peeled and sliced
  • 3 celery stalks chopped
  • 1 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 1 tbsp rotisserie chicken seasoning (or garlic salt, onion salt, sea salt + pepper)
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • sea salt + ground pepper
  • 6 oz extra wide egg noodles (or half a bag)

Equipment

  • Dutch Oven

Method
 

  1. Season both sides of chicken thighs with rotisserie seasoning (or a combo of garlic salt, onion salt, sea salt + pepper).
  2. Drizzle olive oil in the bottom of a dutch oven and warm over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  3. Add carrots, onions, and celery. Add garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, salt and pepper. Cover with water. Cook over low-medium heat for 30-40 minutes or until chicken starts to break easily.
  4. Remove chicken and place on a cutting board or plate. Use a fork and knife to shred or finely chop chicken. Dump the chicken back into the dutch oven. Stir.
  5. Add the egg noodles and more water to cover the ingredients. Cook 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  6. Carefully sample the broth + noodles - if it tastes bland, add more seasoning! If there is too much seasoning, add more water and cook for 5 extra minutes.
  7. Serve immediately with crackers or crusty buttered bread. ENJOY!
  8. Note: If you like fresh herbs, use thyme and parsley!
