A few questions you might have
Do I add the noodles at the start?
No, wait until the first chicken cooking stage is finished, shred the chicken and add noodles after returning it.
Does the chicken need browning first?
No browning step is given; add the chicken directly with broth, butter, vegetables and seasonings at the beginning.
How should I shred the chicken?
Remove it from the cooker after its initial cooking and use a fork before returning it to the broth.
When do the carrots and celery go in?
They join the broth, chicken, onion, butter, salt and pepper in the initial slow-cooker mixture.
How long do the noodles cook?
The directions give the noodles an additional hour after the shredded chicken has been returned to the cooker.
