Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken

2 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp ground coriander

½ tsp celery seeds (or fennel seeds, rosemary, or herbes de Provence)

1 small onion, chopped

2 carrots, chopped

2 celery stalks, chopped

6 cups chicken stock or broth

2 cups egg noodles, cavatelli, or alphabet noodles

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground chicken, garlic, coriander, and herbs or seeds. Cook until chicken is no longer pink.

Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until vegetables are soft and aromatic, about 5–7 minutes.

Pour in chicken stock and bring to a gentle boil.

Stir in noodles and cook until tender, about 8–10 minutes (depending on noodle type).

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve warm, optionally with crusty bread or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Notes

Use gluten-free noodles to make this dish gluten-free.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.

Stir in white beans, chickpeas, or leafy greens for more nutrition.

For best texture, add noodles fresh if storing or freezing.

Rotisserie chicken can be used, but ground chicken offers richer flavor.
