Instructions
Get prepped

Notes
- Cut carrots and celery into uniform sizes so they cook evenly.
- If you're using frozen chicken, add 1 extra hour to the cook time on low.
- Stir occasionally after adding the noodles to prevent sticking.
- Taste and adjust seasoning at the end - the broth and soup can vary in saltiness.
- Add more broth if the dish seems too thick.
- Freeze in single servings for quick lunches or dinners.
How to store leftovers
Let the chicken and noodles cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. FridgeStore in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freezer
Freeze for up to 3 months. For best results, freeze before adding the noodles, as they can become mushy when reheated. Add freshly cooked noodles when serving.
