Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
0.5 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp Italian seasoning
0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
6 cups chicken broth
8 lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts, olive oil, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes into the slow cooker.
Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks, then return the meat to the slow cooker.
Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and stir, ensuring they are submerged in the broth.
Cover and cook on high for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
Stir in the heavy cream, ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses until melted and smooth.
Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
If the soup becomes too thick after adding the cheese, stir in an additional 0.5 cup of warm chicken broth to reach your desired consistency. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or broth if needed to loosen the sauce.
