Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb. chicken breasts boneless and skinless
- 1 large sweet onion diced
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 4 medium carrots peeled and sliced into rounds
- 3 stalks celery cleaned and sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste
- 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth more if needed
- Small bunch of fresh thyme
- Small bunch of fresh rosemary
- 3 bay leaves
- 8 oz egg noodles dry
Instructions
- Add chicken breasts, onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to an 8-quart slow cooker. Then, add dried parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Finally, add the broth. Top with fresh rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves.
- Cover and cook on low for six to seven hours or on high for about three to four hours.
- After that, discard the herbs and bay leaves. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
- Remove the chicken from the pot, place it on a plate, and shred it with two forks. Return it to the slow cooker and add the dry egg noodles.
- Cover and cook on low until al dente, for about 20-30 minutes or on high for about 15 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
- If added too early, pasta can be easily overcooked in the slow cooker. My most important recommendation to get the best pasta texture is not to rush and add the pasta during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking. I also prefer to cook the pasta on the high setting and check to turn off the slow cooker when the noodles are al dente.
- For extra flavor, saute the onion and garlic before adding them to the slow cooker.
- Instead of using raw chicken breast, use leftover rotisserie chicken meat.
- Adding frozen raw meat to the slow cooker is not recommended and is considered unsafe. Per the Food Safety guidelines, you should always thaw poultry before adding it to the slow cooker.
- Use the correct noodles. Thin noodles will turn soggy quickly.
- Allow the condensation to evaporate from the crockpot during the last 30 minutes to prevent the mixture from being too watery.
- Be sure to use low-sodium chicken broth so it is not too salty.
- Taste the soup as it cooks to prevent oversalting it as well.
