Ingredients

  • 12 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 lbs thin chicken breasts trimmed of fat
  • 1 pho seasoning spice sachet
  • 3 oz shitake mushrooms washed & thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 tsp dried Thai basil
  • 8 ounces linguini RICE noodles
  • 8 oz bean sprouts fresh
  • cilantro leaves for garnish
  • chopped green onions for garnish
  • lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

  • Pour the broth and water into the bowl of your slow cooker. Add the chicken breasts to the pot.
  • Add the spice sachet, mushrooms, fish sauce, garlic, and basil. Stir gently to combine, and make sure the mushrooms are as submerged as possible.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours. Add the noodles & bean sprouts to the liquid, pressing down to submerge, for the last 45 minutes of cook time.
  • Using tongs remove the chicken from the pot, and shred or chop up- return to the pot.
  • Ladle into bowls and serve with cilantro leaves, green onion, and lime wedges for garnishes.

Notes

  • You can use chicken tenderloins or boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts.
  • Feel free to switch the protein out and use shredded pork instead of chicken.
  • Can't find fresh bean sprouts? Sub canned bean sprouts. You can normally find these in the Asian foods section of the grocery store.
