Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup peas (frozen)
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 2 cups egg noodles
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can be substituted with half-and-half for a lighter finish.
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a sauté-capable slow cooker or in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add the diced chicken, carrots, and celery. Stir and cook until the chicken gets some color, about 4–5 minutes.
  3. Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker if you used a skillet. Pour in 4 cups chicken broth. Sprinkle in dried thyme, dried rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir once to combine.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours (or on high for 3–4 hours), until chicken and vegetables are tender.
  2. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in egg noodles and frozen peas. Push them below the surface so they cook evenly.
  3. When the noodles are tender, stir in heavy cream and heat through for 5–10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serving
  1. Serve warm in bowls. Finish with a fresh grind of black pepper and a sprinkle of chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

For leftover storage, refrigerate in an airtight container for 3–4 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth or cream to loosen the sauce. Freezing is possible without heavy cream; add it when reheating.
