Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large pan over medium to high heat.

Chop 1 onion into small pieces.

Slice 2 ribs of celery sideways into medium-sized pieces, removing any strings.

Slice 2 carrots thinly to ensure they cook quickly.

Add the chopped onions, celery, and carrots to the pan and sauté for about 15 minutes until softened.

Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic to the vegetables and stir.

Cut boneless chicken breasts into small squares and add to the pan once the vegetables are softened.

Cook the chicken until it turns white, then turn off the heat to avoid overcooking.

Add 2 teaspoons of thyme, 0.5 teaspoons of whole oregano, 3 chicken bouillon cubes, and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper to the pan.

Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt to taste (optional).

Pour in enough chicken broth and water to cover the ingredients in the pan.

Remove bay leaves from the mixture.

Add the wide egg noodles to the pan and turn the heat back on.

Cook the noodles for an additional 8 minutes.

Garnish with parsley flakes for decoration before serving.
