After melting the butter, add the veggies into the pot. Toss the celery, carrots, and onions, with a little bit of salt to the pot. Cook the vegetables until they are tender. You will know when the smell comes out.

When veggies are tender, now is the time to pour the bone broth. Pour the broth gradually and keep stirring the whole time.

Before simmering the broth, add the cut chicken pieces to the pan. You can directly use uncooked chicken pieces, as they will eventually get cooked when the broth is brought to a boil. But if you want, you can also cook your chicken beforehand, or use leftovers to save some time.

Step 5: Toss the Egg Noodles

• Italian Parsley: Side by side with the Oregano, Italian parsley also adds a lot to the flavor and aroma. It is a perfect spice to add to your bone broth.

Why is the Chicken Taken Out of the Oven and Put Back Later?

The first time, chicken was added to infuse a chicken flavor into the bone broth. When the broth is simmered for some time like this, it has an additional chicken flavor. The reason for taking out the chicken pieces is to give less time for the chicken to cook.

There is a chance that the chicken may get overcooked, and it will change the whole taste of the recipe. Hence, chicken pieces are added again later on to keep them tender and juicy at the end.
