  • ΒΌ cup fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Combine & Cook

Serve & Savor

Notes

For extra flavor, you can brown the chicken slightly before adding it to the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of noodles based on your preference for a thicker or thinner soup.
