Instructions

Get the Grill Ready

Start by firing up the Arteflame grill to get it ready for grilling.

Prepare the Chicken

1. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the butter and olive oil on the flat cooktop.
3. Sear the chicken breast on the center grill grate for a few minutes on each side to lock in the juices.
4. Move the seared chicken to the flat cooktop and cook until fully cooked through.
5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest before shredding.

Prepare the Vegetables

1. Toss the carrots, celery, and onion in olive oil.
2. Place the vegetables on the flat cooktop and grill until they are tender and slightly charred.

Prepare the Soup Base

1. In a grill-safe pot, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
2. Add the grilled vegetables, chicken broth, fresh thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.

Combine and Cook

1. Add the shredded chicken and egg noodles to the pot.
2. Simmer the soup on the flat cooktop for 15-20 minutes, until the noodles are cooked and the flavors are well combined.  If you have the optional Arteflame Grill Grate Riser, use that.  It will give a deeper smoky flavor.
3. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

1. Garnish with fresh parsley.
2. Serve immediately.

Tips

• Use different heat zones on the flat cooktop to control the cooking temperature and achieve an even sear.
