Good morning! I made this Sunday for my family and they enjoyed it! Aiden and Natalie especially. This is a Weight Watchers derived recipe with a little twist of my own...happy simmering :-)
You'll need:
Whole carrots
Whole celery
1-1.5 lb chicken breasts
1 small yellow onion
Egg noodles-entire pkg
8 cups chicken broth
Thyme-1 teaspoon
Dill-1 teaspoon
Rosemary-dried-1 teaspoon
Fresh parsley-1 tablespoon
1 lemon-Weight Waters recommends juice from 1/2 a lemon...I used juice from a whole lemon
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Salt& pepper to taste
Chop your carrots, celery,and the entire small yellow onion. (Weight Waters recommends 3 carrots and two celery stalks...I doubled mine just to make it thicker and more hearty). Toss into the crockpot atop of your chicken...add the olive oil...all spices except the fresh parsley and lemon. Allow to simmer in the crockpot roughly 6-8 hours...remove the chicken and shred or chop whichever you prefer. While doing that add in your entire pkg of egg noodles and fresh parsley. Allow the noodles to get tender which should take about 15 minutes...add back in your chicken and squeeze in your lemon juice. Stir well...and serve :-)
And, to add a few calories...which I'm really good at doing...I added 1 tablespoon of sour cream and a bit of shredded cheese to my bowl (I don't think Weight Watchers recommends that :-)
Great for while you are at work or just busy with other things! Gotta love crockpot meals!
