3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded and skin removed
8 oz wide egg noodles
1 ½ cups carrots, peeled and sliced

½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Salt to taste (½ to 1 teaspoon)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion, celery, and garlic for 3–4 minutes until softened.
2. Transfer sautéed vegetables to a slow cooker. Add carrots, shredded chicken, broth, bay leaves, thyme, pepper, and salt.
3. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until vegetables are tender.

5. Remove bay leaves, stir in lemon juice and parsley, adjust seasoning, and serve warm.
Notes
You can use gluten-free noodles or wild rice as a substitute.
To freeze: omit noodles and add freshly cooked ones when reheating.
Use homemade chicken if desired—just season broth more.
