Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 medium carrots sliced
  • 3 celery stalks sliced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups egg noodles optional

Method
 

  1. In a large crockpot, add the olive oil, diced onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  2. Add the chicken breasts, chicken broth, carrots, celery, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, salt, and pepper to the crockpot. Stir to combine.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  4. Remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.
  5. If using egg noodles, add them to the crockpot and cook on high for an additional 20-30 minutes until the noodles are tender.
