Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (or rotisserie chicken)
  • 6 oz egg noodles or wide pasta noodles
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
