Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 medium carrots
- 3 stalks celery stalks
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups wide egg noodles (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots into discs. Chop the celery into small chunks. Dice the yellow onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
Place the chicken breasts into the crock pot.
Add the prepared carrots, celery, onion, and garlic on top of the chicken.
Pour the chicken broth into the crock pot, covering the chicken and vegetables.
Sprinkle in the dried thyme, oregano, and parsley. Add the bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir.
If adding egg noodles, stir them into the soup and cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
