Notes

 
Expert Tips
  • Cooking Time - We usually cook this recipe on low but you can also cook on high for 3-4 hours. 
  • Noodle Texture - The noodles will continue to absorb liquid as they sit. If you prefer a soupier consistency, you can add more chicken broth when adding the noodles.
  • Shredding Chicken - You can easily shred the chicken with two forks but you can also learn how to shred chicken with a mixer.
