Gather all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.

Instructions

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Cook the Chicken

Add the diced chicken and minced garlic to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

Add Broth and Noodles

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the egg noodles and reduce heat. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the noodles are cooked and the broth has thickened slightly.

Serve and Garnish

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your one-pot meal!

This one-pot dish is perfect for busy nights or when you want something comforting without the fuss.

Storing Leftovers

If you find yourself with leftovers, you’re in for a treat! This Easy Chicken and Noodles dish stores beautifully in the refrigerator. Just allow it to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. It will last for up to 3-4 days, making it a perfect option for meal prep.

To reheat, simply warm it on the stove over low heat until heated through. You may want to add a splash of chicken broth to restore some moisture, as the noodles tend to absorb the liquid when stored.

Serving Suggestions

This dish is delightful on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides. A simple green salad or some crusty bread can elevate your meal and provide a balanced dining experience. Additionally, a side of garlic bread or roasted vegetables can add extra flavor and nutrition.

For an extra touch, consider serving this meal with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top. This adds a rich, savory flavor that complements the chicken and noodles beautifully.
