Prep & Cook Instructions
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear about 5 minutes until browned on the bottom. Flip chicken and push to one side of the pan. Add onion, carrots and celery and cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until almost tender. Add ginger and garlic; cook about 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add stock and water; bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cover and simmer 15 minutes over medium heat, periodically checking the chicken for doneness (165°F internal temp and no longer pink inside) every few minutes and removing it to a plate while soup continues to simmer.
Uncover; add noodles and green beans to soup. Cover and simmer 5 to 6 minutes until tender. Meanwhile, shred chicken into bite-sized pieces. Stir shredded chicken, parsley and 3 Tbsp. lemon juice into soup. Season to taste with more lemon juice, salt and pepper, as desired.
