Preparation
- Make the soup: Add the chicken breasts, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, salt, pepper, chicken stock, water, bay leaf, and thyme to a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
- Make the matzo balls: In a large bowl, combine the matzo meal, baking powder, salt, pepper, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix well and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the matzo meal absorb the liquid.
- Form the matzo mixture into balls and set aside at room temperature or in the fridge until the soup is done.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the soup, shred with 2 forks, then return to the slow cooker.
- Add the matzo balls to the soup and cook for 30 minutes.
- Ladle the soup and matzo balls into bowls and garnish with fresh dill.
- Enjoy!
