Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs breasts will work, too, but thighs are more tender
  • 1 celery stalk sliced or chopped
  • 1 lb carrots peeled and sliced or chopped
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 Better Than Boullion Roast Chicken, 3/4 of a jar chicken stock or chicken broth will work, too, but Better Than Boullion adds amazing flavor
  • 2 dried bay leaves
  • 1/2 tbsp poultry spice
  • 1/2 tbsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tbsp ground thyme dried thyme will work, too
  • 1/2 tbsp salt
  • 1/2 tbsp pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic salt
  • water enough to fill up Crockpot
  • 1 package noodles of choice I used egg noodles for this recipe

Equipment

  • 1 6-quart Crockpot slow cooker
  • 1 ladle
  • 1 slotted spoon
  • 1 large mixing spoon
  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 colander 
  • 1 stand mixer optional for shredding chicken

Instructions 

  • Chop onion, carrots and celery and place in mixing bowl.
  • Place chicken (do not chop or cut) and vegetables in Crockpot, then fill with water to about an inch of the top of the Crockpot. 
  • Add all spices and Better Than Boullion, then stir thoroughly with a large mixing spoon, making sure that the Better Than Boullion is fully dissolved.
  • Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-4 hours (I recommend using the low method). Stir occasionally (it's okay if you won't be home to do so). note: noodles will be prepared right before serving so they won't be mushy
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken from Crockpot and place into a medium mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl (I prefer using a stand mixer). Shred chicken using forks or on the lowest setting for the stand mixer (make sure not to over mix the chicken or it will get mushy) to desired shred size. After shredding, add chicken back to Crockpot and stir. 
  • Prepare noodles according to package instructions (only make the amount you need, save the rest for leftovers), then drain and set aside. Ladle chicken soup into serving bowls and add desired amount of noodles to each bowl. Serve with crackers!
