  3. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Place chicken breasts in the pot and pour in the chicken broth.
  5. Add thyme, parsley, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  7. Remove chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot.

Notes

  • For a richer broth, use bone-in chicken thighs.
  • Add more broth if you prefer a soupier texture.
  • Noodles will continue absorbing liquid—add extra broth when reheating.
  • Freeze without noodles for best texture.
