Ingredients

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (optional)
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and sliced thin
  • 2 stalks celery sliced
  • 2 quarts chicken broth low sodium recommended
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
  • 2 cups egg noodles dried or fresh
  • 3 cups baby bok choy or other green veg

Garnishes - optional

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley minced
  • sprigs fresh thyme

Instructions

  • To the slow cooker, add the chicken breasts, olive oil, garlic, onion, carrots, celery, chicken broth, bay leaves and dried thyme.
  • Cover the crock pot and cook on a low heat setting for 6-7 hours.
  • Remove the cooked chicken to a plate to cool for several minutes. Once the chicken is lukewarm, use two forks to shred it into bite size pieces. Reserve.
  • Add the egg noodles to the crock pot along with the bok choy. Re-cover and cook on high heat for 6-8 minutes until the noodles are al dente.
  • Stir the shredded chicken along with the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • If the liquid level is lower than you'd like, you can always add extra broth or water. Note you may need to adjust the salt and pepper afterward.
