Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add the carrots and celery around the chicken.
Add the condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, chicken bouillon, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, basil, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir the sauce ingredients together as much as possible.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 3 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker, shred it with two forks, and return it to the slow cooker.
Stir in the egg noodles and heavy whipping cream. Press the noodles down into the liquid so they are mostly submerged.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the noodles are tender. If the noodles absorb the liquid too quickly or aren't mostly covered, add up to 1 cup of additional chicken broth as needed.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
