Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 large Yellow Onion, finely diced
- 3 large Carrots, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 3 stalks Celery, sliced into 1/2-inch crescents
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/2 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
- 1.5 lbs Bone-in, Skin-on Chicken Thighs
- 8 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Bone Broth
- 2 Bay Leaves
- 3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
- 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary
- 8 oz Wide Egg Noodles
- 1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/4 cup Fresh Italian Parsley, chopped
Instructions:
- Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and sear skin-side down until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until the vegetables soften and begin to caramelize.
- Add minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Deglaze the pot by pouring in the chicken bone broth, scraping the bottom to release the browned bits (fond).
- Return the chicken thighs to the pot. Add bay leaves, thyme sprigs, and rosemary. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pot. Discard skin and bones; shred the meat into bite-sized pieces and return to the broth.
- Add wide egg noodles to the simmering broth and cook for 6-8 minutes or until al dente.
- Stir in fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired and serve hot.
