Ingredients

- ½ rib celery (about 3 inch section) Sliced, thin
- 2 tablespoons onion finely chopped
- 1 sprigs fresh dill
- 1 sprigs fresh parsley flat leaf
- ¼ teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1¼ cup egg noodles
Instructions
- Remove the skin and bones from the chicken breast and set aside. Use butcher twine to tie together the sprigs of parsley and dill. Place the peppercorns inside a small cheesecloth pouch for easy removal.1 sprigs fresh dill, 1 sprigs fresh parsley, ¼ teaspoon black peppercorns
- Preheat a 2-quart slow cooker and add the chicken broth, water, carrots, celery, black peppercorns, and onions. Lower the dill and parsley bouquet into the slow cooker, Cover and cook on LOW setting for 2 hours.2 cups chicken broth, 1 cup water, 1 small carrot, ½ small zucchini, ½ rib celery (about 3 inch section), 2 tablespoons onion
- Uncover and add the egg noodles and fully cooked chicken. Re-cover and continue cooking on LOW until noodles are al'dente, about 45 minutes, but check every 15 minutes so the noodles don't get mushy.1¼ cup egg noodles, 1 (8-ounce) rotisserie chicken breast
- Remove pouch of peppercorns, bouquet of dill and parsley before serving.
Notes
- If you don't use a lot of celery, just buy what you need from the local salad bar. Alternately you can use a couple shakes of dried celery seed, it works very well. Same for the dill, if you don;t have fresh, add a pinch of dried.
- You will notice, I don't add salt, this is because the chicken broth and the rotisserie chicken adds more than enough salt to the recipe. If you use raw chicken, then season with a little bit of salt to bring out the chicken flavor and add the chicken at the beginning with the broth and vegetables and increase cook time by 1 hour.
- Use a homemade chicken broth if you have it, otherwise I recommend using the Better than Bouillon chicken broth concentrate.
- If you use more noodles, then make sure to add a little more broth.
