Liquids
- 6 cups chicken broth
Others
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 6 oz (170 g) egg noodles

Instructions
- Heat Oil: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat to prepare for cooking the chicken and aromatics.
- Cook Chicken: Add the diced chicken breast to the pot and cook until it is lightly browned on all sides, ensuring it is partially cooked and flavorful.
