Crockpot Chicken & Noodles

Crock Pot Chicken and Noodles is pure comfort food. The chicken cooks low and slow until it’s fall-apart tender, soaking up all the savory flavor from the broth and seasonings. Add in thick egg noodles, and they turn soft and hearty, making the whole dish rich, creamy, and comforting. It’s simple, satisfying, and full of that old-school, home-cooked flavor that never gets old—perfect for chilly nights, busy days, or when you just need something warm and easy.

How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken and Noodles

This dish is effortless to make with only a few simple ingredients. Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker and season with garlic & herb seasoning. Whisk together cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, and chicken broth in a small bowl. Pour the soup mixture over the chicken. Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked.

Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred with two forks. Add the chicken back to the slow cooker. Add frozen egg noodles and stir well. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Cover the slow cooker and cook for an additional hour on HIGH heat, or until the noodles are cooked. Sprinkle with parsley and red pepper flakes.

Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

• I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You can substitute chicken thighs or chicken tenderloins.
  • You can substitute rotisserie chicken.
• You can use any flavor of condensed cream of soup in this recipe.
  • I suggest using Unsalted Cream of Chicken & Mushroom Soups in this dish to control the sodium.
• Add your favorite veggies to the casserole.
  • frozen mixed vegetables with green peas, carrots, corn, and green beans
  • broccoli
  • spinach
  • onions
  • celery
• You can cook the chicken on LOW heat for 5-6 hours or HIGH heat for 2-3 hours.
• For a thicker sauce, add a quick cornstarch slurry to the mix.
  • Stir together one tablespoon of cornstarch with one tablespoon of cold water. Add to the crockpot after cooking.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add more chicken broth.
• I recommend using low sodium chicken broth.

Storage Tips

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • Reheat in the microwave or on the stove top.
    • You may need to add more liquid to the chicken mixture, as the noodles will absorb some of the sauce while sitting in the refrigerator.
