Description

This comforting chicken and noodles crock pot recipe offers a hearty and easy-to-make meal perfect for busy days. Tender chicken breasts simmer in a creamy mixture of chicken broth and cream of chicken soup, enhanced with butter, and finished with soft, flavorful egg noodles cooked to perfection in the slow cooker.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cans chicken broth (15 oz each)
  • 1 stick butter or margarine (1/2 cup)
  • 1 lb chicken breasts (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 package frozen egg noodles (24 oz), like Reames

Instructions

  1. Place chicken in crock pot: Arrange the chicken breasts at the bottom of your crock pot to form an even layer.
  2. Add liquids and butter: Pour the two cans of chicken broth and the cream of chicken soup over the chicken breasts. Then add the stick of butter on top.
  3. Cook low and slow: Cover the crock pot and cook on the low setting for 6 to 7 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and flavorful.
  4. Shred chicken: Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the crock pot and shred them using two forks, then return the shredded chicken back into the crock pot.
  5. Add noodles and finish cooking: Add the frozen egg noodles to the crock pot. Continue cooking for an additional 2 hours on low, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
  6. Serve: Once the noodles are cooked through and tender, serve the chicken and noodles warm for a cozy, satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen chicken breasts depending on convenience; frozen works well for this slow cooker method.
  • Stirring the noodles every 30 minutes helps prevent them from clumping or sticking to the crock pot.
  • You can substitute margarine with butter based on your preference.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes to reduce liquid slightly.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled for larger families or meal prepping.
