Instructions:
Pat chicken dry with paper towel; sprinkle with 1/2 tsp pepper and sale. In a 6 quart stockpot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add chicken in batches, skin side down; cook until golden brown; 3-4 minutes. Remove chicken from pan; remove and discard the skin. Discard the drippings, reserving 2 tbls
Add onion to drippings; cook and stir over medium heat until tender, 4-5 mins. Add garlic; cook one minute longer. Add broth, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Bring to a boil. Return chicken to the pan. Add celery, carrots, bay leaves and thyme. Reduce heat, simmer, covered until chicken is tender, 25-30 min.
Transfer chicken to plate. Remove soup from the heat. Add noodels; let stand, covered, until noodles are tender, 20-22 minutes.
Meanwhile, when chicken is cool enough to handle, removed meat from bones; discard bones. Shred meat into bite-sized pieces. Return meat to the stockpot. Stir in parsley and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and remaining 3/4 tsp pepper. Discard bay leaves. |
