Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper, then roast for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  2. In a large pot, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery, stirring occasionally for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the shredded roasted chicken. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for about 20-30 minutes.
  6. In the last 5-10 minutes, add the egg noodles or gluten-free pasta and cook until tender.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving hot, garnished with fresh herbs.

Notes

For best flavor, opt for homemade broth and fresh herbs when possible. Adjust noodle timing to maintain texture.
