Step 1
In a large pot, bring the 6 cups chicken broth to a boil over high heat. Add the 1 lb chicken breast and 1 tsp salt, reduce to medium, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Remove the chicken to a plate and let cool slightly. Shred the meat with two forks, discarding any bones or skin.
Step 3
Meanwhile, cook the 4 oz rice noodles according to package directions until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
Step 4
Divide the noodles among 4 bowls. Top with the shredded chicken and ladle the hot broth over. Squeeze the lime juice over each bowl and sprinkle with the 0.5 cup fried shallots. Serve hot.
Step 5
Optional: add sliced tomato, green chili, or scallions for extra freshness.
