Instructions

Get prepped

Dice 1 medium onion. Halve 2 cups baby carrots. Dice 1 cup celery. Measure out seasonings and combine them in a small bowl. Combine 2 chicken breasts and 4 cups chicken broth.
1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper

Cook the chicken and vegetables

Place the 2 chicken breasts in the crockpot. Sprinkle the seasonings evenly over the chicken.
Add the onion, carrots and celery over the top.
Pour in the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Stir gently to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.

Shred the chicken

Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.

Cook the noodles

Add 8 oz egg noodles to the crockpot and stir. Cover and cook for another 20–30 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

Add sour cream

Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.

Serve

Ladle into bowls and devour!

Notes

Cut carrots and celery into uniform sizes so they cook evenly.
If you're using frozen chicken, add 1 extra hour to the cook time on low.
Stir occasionally after adding the noodles to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasoning at the end - the broth and soup can vary in saltiness.
Add more broth if the dish seems too thick.
Freeze in single servings for quick lunches or dinners.

How to store leftovers

Let the chicken and noodles cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container.

Fridge
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezer
Freeze for up to 3 months. For best results, freeze before adding the noodles, as they can become mushy when reheated. Add freshly cooked noodles when serving.
