Author: 
Recipe type: Main
Cuisine: American
 
Ingredients
  • 1 small chicken breast or thigh, or ½ cup leftover chicken
  • 2 small or 1 medium carrot, peeled and sliced or diced, however you like it
  • 1 medium stalk of celery, sliced or diced
  • 1 small or ½ medium onion, chopped
  • 1 box or about 4 cups good low/no sodium chicken stock or broth
  • 2 - 3 chicken boullion cubes or a teaspoon or so of chicken soup base
  • 4 ounces good quality dried egg noodles - or better, use fresh pasta!
  • 2 -3 Tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and Pepper to taste.
Instructions
  1. If using fresh chicken, season with salt and pepper or seasoned salt (I like Morton's) and fry or grill JUST until no longer pink. Set aside. Throw the celery, onion and carrot in a small saucepan with about a teaspoon of butter. Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally until vegetables start to soften a bit. Add chicken stock, boullion or soup base and bring to a boil. Taste here and add a little salt if necessary. Add noodles and simmer until noodles are just tender. Dice up the chicken meat and add to the pot. Add 1-2 tablespoons of cilantro and taste. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Serve hot with crusty bread.
