Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 medium yellow onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth reserve 1 cup
¼ cup cornstarch
1½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 large carrots peeled and chopped
12 ounces egg noodles
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
Add the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a low boil. Whisk the cornstarch with the reserved chicken broth. Whisk it into the pot. Add the chicken breast and carrots and simmer until they are fork-tender.
Remove the chicken from the pot, cover it loosely, and let it rest for a few minutes.
Add the egg noodles to the simmering pot. Push them into the liquid and simmer until desired tenderness.
Meanwhile, using two forks, shred the chicken. Add the chicken to the pot and season the dish with fresh herbs, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
