Equipment
Method

- Optional — heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion until translucent (5 minutes), add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Transfer to slow cooker.
- Place chicken, broth, sautéed aromatics (or raw onion, garlic, carrots), thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper into the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until chicken shreds easily and reaches 165°F.
- Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return to crock pot. Stir in frozen peas and carrots. Cook uncovered 15–20 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk flour and 1/2 cup cream into a smooth slurry. Gradually stir into slow cooker along with remaining cream. Cook on high with lid ajar for 20–30 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Cook egg noodles separately according to package. Drain, rinse, and stir into the slow cooker. Adjust seasoning and serve immediately.

Notes
STORAGE: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat with a splash of broth to restore creaminess. Freeze for up to 3 months — thaw overnight and reheat on stovetop.
MAKE AHEAD: Prepare the base (without noodles) up to 2 days in advance. Store chilled and reheat before adding cooked pasta.
SUBSTITUTIONS: Use gluten-free flour and pasta for a GF version. Substitute heavy cream with evaporated milk or whole milk for a lighter twist.
PRO TIPS: Cook pasta separately to avoid mush. Add a splash of lemon juice at the end to brighten flavors. Use chicken thighs for juicier results.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve in bowls with a side of buttered bread, coleslaw, or grilled vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for color and freshness.
