Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 medium, diced Carrots
• 3 medium, diced Celery stalks
• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 6 cups Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 ounces Wide egg noodles
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot. Add the diced carrots, celery, onion, and minced garlic on top.

Step 2

Pour in the chicken broth, and sprinkle with dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.

Step 3

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 4

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.

Step 5

Add the egg noodles to the crock pot, and stir to ensure they are submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

Step 6

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to form a roux.

Step 7

Gradually whisk in the heavy cream to the roux until smooth. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 8

Pour the cream mixture into the crock pot and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
