Ingredients
  

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 medium carrots, sliced

2 cups celery, diced

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried parsley

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup heavy cream

2 cups egg noodles

Salt to taste

Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs at the bottom of the slow cooker. Season with salt, black pepper, thyme, and parsley.

    Add Vegetables: Layer the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and diced celery on top of the chicken.

      Pour in Broth: Pour the chicken broth over the top of the chicken and vegetables. This will infuse the dish with flavor during the slow cooking process.

        Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

          Shred Chicken: Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the pot.

            Add Creaminess: Stir in the softened cream cheese and heavy cream. Mix until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.

              Cook Noodles: Add the egg noodles, stir to combine, and cover. Cook on low for an additional 30 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and has absorbed some of the creamy broth.

                Serve & Garnish: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
