Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Yellow Onion, finely diced
- 1 cup Carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
- 1 cup Celery, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
- 1 tsp Poultry Seasoning
- 1.5 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 6 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Bone Broth
- 1 tbsp Better Than Bouillon Roasted Chicken Base
- 1 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
- 24 oz Frozen Thick Egg Noodles
- 0.5 cup Heavy Cream
- 0.25 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the carrots begin to soften, about 6–8 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and poultry seasoning. Cook for 60 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the whole chicken thighs to the pot. Pour in the bone broth and the roasted chicken base. Season with cracked black pepper.
- Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the chicken thighs are tender and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and shred into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the simmering broth.
- Add the frozen thick egg noodles directly to the pot. Increase heat slightly to maintain a gentle boil. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom, until the noodles are tender and the broth has thickened into a gravy-like consistency.
- Stir in the heavy cream and fresh parsley. Taste and add salt as needed. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to fully set.
