# Instructions:

Add chicken breasts or thighs to the crock pot. Combine chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, milk, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir well to mix all ingredients together.

Cover the crock pot and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours, or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.
03 -
Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Place the shredded chicken back into the crock pot.
04 -
Add the egg noodles (either frozen or dried) to the crock pot. Toss in the diced carrots and celery, if using. Stir to distribute everything evenly.

Cover the crock pot again and cook on HIGH for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the noodles are fully cooked and tender.
