Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free egg noodles
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup celery, sliced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by washing and chopping vegetables: dice the onion, slice carrots and celery into uniform pieces, and ensure chicken is pre-cooked and shredded.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until translucent and slightly golden, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add sliced carrots and celery to the pot, stirring and cooking for an additional 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
- Pour chicken broth into the pot with vegetables. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
- Add gluten-free egg noodles to the simmering broth, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook noodles according to package instructions, typically 8-10 minutes.
- Incorporate shredded chicken into the pot, allowing it to warm through completely.
- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
- Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes to allow flavors to meld together and ensure everything is heated evenly.
- Remove from heat and let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow sauce to thicken slightly.
- Serve hot in bowls, ensuring each serving has a balanced mix of noodles, chicken, and vegetables.
Tips
- Choose high-quality gluten-free egg noodles to ensure the best texture and taste.
- Pre-cook your chicken to save time and ensure it's perfectly tender.
- Cut vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking and professional presentation.
- Don't overcook the noodles—they can become mushy quickly, especially gluten-free varieties.
- Use low-sodium chicken broth to control the salt content of your dish.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of herbs like thyme or parsley.
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow flavors to meld and sauce to slightly thicken.
- If the broth seems too thin, you can create a quick slurry with cornstarch to thicken it.
