Description

This comforting chicken and noodles crock pot recipe is a perfect easy-to-make meal that combines tender chicken breasts slowly cooked in creamy soup and broth, then mixed with soft, hearty egg noodles.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cans chicken broth (15 oz each)
  • 1 stick butter or margarine (approximately 4 tablespoons)
  • 1 lb chicken breasts (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 package frozen egg noodles (24 oz), like Reames

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your crock pot in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
  2. Add Liquids and Butter: Pour the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup evenly over the chicken. Then, add the entire stick of butter or margarine on top for richness and creaminess.
  3. Cook on Low: Cover the crock pot and cook on the low setting for 6 to 7 hours. This slow cooking method gently tenderizes the chicken while infusing it with flavor.
  4. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back into the crock pot, mixing it well with the broth and soup base.
  5. Add Noodles: Add the frozen egg noodles directly into the crock pot and continue cooking on low for an additional 2 hours. Stir every 30 minutes to prevent noodles from sticking and to ensure even cooking.
  6. Serve: Once the noodles are tender and fully cooked, serve the chicken and noodles warm for a hearty, comforting meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or parsley during cooking.
  • Ensure to stir the noodles regularly during the last 2 hours to avoid clumping and uneven cooking.
  • The recipe works well with frozen or fresh chicken breasts; adjust cooking time if using thawed chicken.
  • Butter can be substituted with margarine or olive oil if preferred.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
