    Method

    1. Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 mins until slightly softened. Add the garlic and cook for 2 mins.
    2. Put the crumbled stock cube and the contents of the flavour sachets from the noodles into a heatproof jug and whisk in 200ml boiling water to dissolve. Tip into the pan with the onion and top up with 1ltr boiling water.
    3. Add the chicken fillets, celery and carrot; bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and cook gently for 20 mins until cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and shred with two forks.
    4. Bring the broth back to the boil, add the noodles and cook for 3-4 mins until just cooked; skim any scum from the surface. Remove from the heat, return the chicken to the pan, then divide among bowls, season with ground black pepper to serve.
