Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 3 stalks celery stalks, sliced
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 2 cups egg noodles (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 2

Add the sliced carrots, celery, diced onion, and minced garlic on top of the chicken.

Step 3

Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the ingredients are fully submerged.

Sprinkle in the dried thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the bay leaves.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours.

Step 6

About 30 minutes before serving, remove the chicken breasts from the soup and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot.

Step 7

If using egg noodles, add them to the crock pot at this time, ensuring there is enough liquid to cook them. Let them cook for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
