Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs. Smart Chicken Bone-in, Skin-on Breasts

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2-3 carrots, peeled, sliced thin on a mandolin

  • 1 large sweet onion, diced small

  • 3-4 ribs celery, diced small

  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced

  • 3 bay leaves

  • 4 cups classic chicken bone broth, 1 carton, Smart Chicken

  • 6-8 cups low sodium chicken stock, traditional

  • 2-3 cups egg noodles

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh squeezed

  • 2.5 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped small

  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped small

  • Chili oil, optional for a little spice

Directions

Add butter and olive oil to a large Dutch oven or stock pot over medium high heat. Sear the bone-in, skin-on chicken breast on all sides.

Remove it from the pan. Add the onions, carrots and celery to the same pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic, sauté until fragrant. Stir in the bone broth and traditional low-sodium chicken stock. Add the bay leaves and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Next, add the bone-in chicken back into the broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and allow the chicken to finish cooking. May take 30-35 minutes.

Remove the chicken. Once it’s cool, dice or shred it into small bites ensuring to discard the bones. Stir in the shredded chicken, add the pasta and cook until tender. 7-8 minutes. Remove the soup from the heat, stir in the fresh squeezed lemon juice, fresh parsley and dill. Serve hot.
