Add Vegetables: While the broth mixture is heating up, chop celery, carrots, and onion. Add them to the pot with the broth.
Season: Stir in minced garlic, parsley flakes, salt, and pepper. Taste the broth before adding extra salt, as bouillon cubes can be quite salty. Bring the broth back to a boil and let the vegetables cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Prepare Chicken: Meanwhile, clean the chicken breasts and remove any membranes, fat, or tendons. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, about 1/2 to 1 inch in size.
Cook Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the broth and vegetable mixture. Bring it back to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the chicken is tender and thoroughly cooked.
Add Noodles: Once the chicken is cooked through, add the frozen noodles to the pot. Cover and simmer until the noodles are tender and the broth has thickened slightly, about 15-20 minutes.
Serve: Ladle the hot chicken and noodle soup into bowls. Serve with warm biscuits on the side for a truly comforting meal. Enjoy!
