Ingredients

• 12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1/3 cup, packed parsley or dill leaves
• 2 cups fine egg noodles (dry)
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 8 small carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups water
• 1 clove garlic, pierced with a toothpick

Instructions

1. Combine carrots, broth, water and garlic in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer until the carrots are tender, about 5 minutes. While this is cooking, cut the chicken into 1/2-inch chunks. Rinse, pat dry and mince the dill or parsley. Add the chicken and egg noodles to the broth, cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Fish out garlic clove and season to taste with salt and pepper.
