Slow Cooker Chicken and Noodles

          

This is a wonderfully easy soup to cook while at work or on a busy day! This can be ‘soupy’ with more broth; or sometimes I like to thicken the juice with a little water and cornstarch mixture and let cook till thick. Then it is good served over mashed potatoes! Enjoy!!

Original recipe makes 6 – 1 cup servings

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
6 cups water
1 onion, chopped

  2. When chicken is tender, remove from the slow cooker and tear or chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside in a small casserole dish to keep warm.
