Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup carrots sliced
  • 1 cup celery chopped
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables

  • Start by slicing the carrots, chopping the celery, dicing the onion, and mincing the garlic. These fresh vegetables are the foundation of your broth’s flavor.

Sear the Chicken

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step locks in the juices and adds a lovely depth to the final dish.

Add Ingredients to the Crockpot

  • Place the seared chicken breasts into your crockpot. Add the sliced carrots, chopped celery, diced onion, and minced garlic on top. Sprinkle in the dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Pour the 4 cups of chicken broth over everything.

Cook Low and Slow

  • Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken will become tender, and the vegetables will soften beautifully.

Shred the Chicken

  • Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the crockpot.

Add Egg Noodles and Peas

  • Add the egg noodles and frozen peas to the crockpot. Stir everything gently to combine. Cook on high for an additional 20-30 minutes until the noodles are tender but not mushy.

Final Seasoning and Serve

  • Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot in bowls, perfect for a cozy meal. This recipe is excellent on its own or alongside a fresh salad or crusty bread.

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Skillet

Notes

  • For the best texture, add egg noodles towards the end to avoid overcooking.
  • Searing the chicken before slow cooking adds depth and locks in juices.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days or can be frozen for 2 months.
