- Boil chicken breast in water with a little salt and pepper. Once cooked, remove from the stock and shred meat into smaller pieces using two forks.
- In a pot, sauté garlic and onion in butter until tender. Add the chicken meat and noodles and cook for 5 minutes stirring from time to time to avoid burning the noodles.
- Add the chicken stock to the pot and cover. Once it starts to boil add carrots, bell pepper, and celery and cover again.
