🍲 Crock Pot Chicken and Noodles
Crock Pot Chicken and Noodles is a comforting, creamy slow-cooked dish made with tender shredded chicken and soft egg noodles. It’s perfect for an easy family dinner.
🥘 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 1½–2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 medium onion, chopped (optional)
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken soup
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried thyme (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 12 oz egg noodles (frozen or dried)
- 2 tbsp butter (optional, for richness)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Add to Crock Pot:
Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Add onion, cream of chicken soup, broth, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir gently. - Cook:
- Low: 6–7 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
Cook until chicken is tender and fully cooked.
- Shred Chicken:
Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return to the crock pot. - Add Noodles:
Stir in egg noodles and butter (if using).- Cook on High for 30–45 minutes (stir occasionally) until noodles are tender.
- Serve:
Adjust seasoning if needed and serve warm.
💡 Tips
- For a thicker dish, reduce broth slightly or let it cook uncovered for the last 20 minutes.
- Add carrots and celery for a chicken pot pie-style flavor.
- Stir in a splash of heavy cream at the end for extra richness.
- Leftovers thicken as they sit — add a little broth when reheating.
If you want, I can also give a from-scratch (no canned soup) version that’s creamy and homemade.
