1
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides but not fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
2
In the same pot, add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
3
Pour in the chicken broth and add the thyme, basil, and parsley. Bring to a boil.
4
Return the chicken breasts to the pot, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until the chicken is fully cooked, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it cool slightly.
5
Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually 8-10 minutes.
6
While the noodles cook, shred the chicken with two forks.
7
Return the shredded chicken to the pot, stir, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

2. Tossed salad
242cal, 9p, 20c, 8f (per meal)
2 tbsp (30mL)
1/4 medium (2-1/2" dia) (28g)
1 small whole (2-2/5" dia) (91g)

1
Mix ingredients together in a bowl and serve.
2
If you want to prepare multiple servings in advance, you can shred the carrots and lettuce and slice the onion in advance and store them in the fridge in a ziploc bag or tupperware container so you just have to dice a little cucumber and tomato and add a little dressing the next time.
