40 100 140

Ingredients

1 pound bone-in chicken breast halves
12 cups water
3 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
2 teaspoons olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
3 celery ribs, sliced
1-1/2 cups fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 medium carrots, sliced
2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
4 teaspoons Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium chicken base
3-1/2 cups uncooked egg noodles
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
2 cups frozen okra, thawed and sliced

Directions

Place the chicken, water, bay leaves and pepper in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour or until chicken is tender.
Remove chicken from broth; set aside to cool. Strain broth, discarding bay leaves. Skim fat from broth. When cool enough to handle, remove chicken from bones and cut into 1/2-inch pieces; discard bones.
In a large stockpot coated with cooking spray, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add the celery, beans, carrots, parsley and Italian seasoning. Stir in broth and chicken base. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Stir in noodles and corn. Return to a boil; cook, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Add okra; cook 4-6 minutes longer or until noodles and okra are tender. Stir in chicken; heat through. Yield: 10 servings (3-3/4 quarts).

This was VERY healthy, but Very bland. It didn't have a lot of flavor. I was actually embarrassed to serve it to my family. :(

This is a wonderful recipe, brimming with flavor from the "home-made broth" and the variety of veggies. I served it to a bunch of northerners who aren't familiar with okra and they loved it... the okra flavor/texture doesn't stick out but works really great with everything else. I am making it again this weekend and doubling it!
