Fill a large pot with 8 cups of water. Add chicken breast, garlic powder, and half of the parsley. Set stove to medium-high heat and cook for 20 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, rinse and drain the shirataki noodles, and pat until thoroughly dry. Cut the noodles into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Once chicken is fully cooked, pour the contents of the pot into a colander so only the chicken remains. Using two forks shred the chicken into small pieces.
Place all remaining ingredients in the pot, along with the noodles and chicken, and stir well. Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
Turn off the heat and allow the soup to sit for at least 5 minutes.
