My Dad'S Favorite Chicken & Noodles - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 -6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
3 stalks celery, chopped
4 -6 carrots, peeled & chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove minced garlic
6 cups water
7 chicken flavored bullion cubes
2 -3 cans chicken broth (I use 99% fat free)
parsley flakes
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 package frozen noodles (I like Reames brand--fat free)

Preparation

Put water, bouillion cubes& chicken broth in large pot (5 quart Dutch oven or stock pot).
Place on medium heat& bring to a boil.
While broth mixture is heating up, chop celery, carrots& onion- add to broth.
Add garlic, parsley flakes, salt& pepper (taste first before adding the extra salt- bouillion cubes can be very salty!) Bring broth back to a boil& let vegetables cook in the broth for approximately 10 minutes.
Clean chicken breasts& remove any membranes, fat&/or tendons.
Cut into 1/2-1 inch pieces.
Add chicken pieces to broth/vegetable mixture& bring back to a boil.
When chicken is cooked, add frozen noodles to pot; cover& simmer until noodles are tender& broth is thickened.
Serve with biscuits- YUMMY!
