A warm, hearty dish integrating tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and egg noodles in a rich broth, perfect for any day.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 4 medium carrots, sliced into rounds or half moons
  • 4 stalks celery, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 dried bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep the ingredients: In a large slow cooker, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, sliced celery, minced garlic, chicken stock, chicken breasts, bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Cook in the slow cooker: Cover and cook on low for 360-480 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  3. Shred the chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker. Using two forks, chop or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Add the noodles: Return the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker. Add the egg noodles and stir to combine, ensuring the noodles are submerged in the broth.
  5. Final cooking: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
  6. Finish with flavor: Stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley just before serving.

Notes

Adjust cooking time based on chicken size and taste for seasoning before serving.
