Instructions

Sauté the vegetables: In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Sauté diced onion, sliced carrots, and chopped celery for about 5 minutes until softened.
Add garlic and chicken: Stir in minced garlic and boneless chicken breasts; cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the broth: Add chicken broth to cover ingredients completely (about 6 cups). Toss in thyme and bay leaf; stir well.
Simmer: Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and let cook for about 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Shred chicken: Once cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F), remove chicken from pot to cool slightly before shredding with two forks.
Finish with noodles: Return shredded chicken to the pot along with egg noodles. Cook until noodles are tender (about 8 minutes).
