Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook until just shy of al dente, about 1 minute less than the package directions — they should still have a firm bite at the center. Drain in a colander and set aside.

While the noodles cook, place the chicken breasts in the boiling water before draining (or use a separate pot of simmering salted water). Poach over medium heat until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part, about 12–15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest 5 minutes, then shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.
