Instructions
Saute the Vegetables
Melt the butter in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the diced carrots and celery and saute for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn slightly golden around the edges. Season with the dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
Add Broth and Noodles
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet with the vegetables and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the egg noodles directly to the boiling broth, stir well, and reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until the noodles are tender and most of the broth is absorbed.
Stir in the Chicken
Add the shredded cooked chicken to the skillet and stir gently to combine with the noodles and vegetables. If the mixture looks too dry, add a small splash of extra chicken broth to loosen it up. Heat everything through for 2 to 3 minutes over medium low heat.
Taste and Serve
Taste the chicken noodle pasta and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper as needed. Ladle into warm bowls and serve immediately with crusty bread on the side if desired. This dish also reheats beautifully the next day with a splash of broth.
