For the chicken:
- 1 pound boneless chicken breasts
- 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
For the soup:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 2 ribs celery, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 bay leaves
- 8 cup chicken broth or stock (Note 1)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1.5 cups wide egg noodles (or pasta of choice)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Make the chicken: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly pound the chicken to flatten the large bump at one end to make it even thickness. This will help the chicken cook more evenly.
- In a bowl, combine the chicken, seasoning (1/2 teaspoon EACH garlic powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, sea salt), and 1.5 tablespoons of the olive oil, and mix well to coat.
- Transfer chicken to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, until cooked through. Let the chicken cool slightly on a cutting board before using a fork to shred the chicken into thin pieces. Set aside.
- Make the soup: In a Dutch oven or large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 5-8 minutes.
- Add the garlic, thyme, sage, rosemary, and bay leaves and cook for another 1 minute.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer, partially covered, for 20 minutes.
- Stir in the egg noodles and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the shredded chicken, fresh dill, and lemon juice. Give the soup a good stir and adjust the seasoning to taste. Serve each bowl with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
- You can use chicken or vegetable both. Homemade tastes best, but store-bought will still be delicious.
