Tender, juicy chicken mingles with perfectly cooked noodles in a creamy, savory sauce, making this dish the ultimate comfort food. Perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekends, this foolproof recipe is made entirely in the crock pot.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup
  • 12 ounces uncooked egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Optional: Frozen peas, carrots, or diced celery

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts or thighs into the crock pot. Season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the chicken is fully submerged.
  3. Add the cream of chicken soup on top without mixing; it will combine during cooking.
  4. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, use tongs to shred it directly in the crock pot.
  6. Add the uncooked egg noodles and stir gently to combine. Add a splash of chicken broth if it looks too dry.
  7. Drop in the butter (cut into small pieces) and let it melt as the noodles cook.
  8. Cook for an additional 30-40 minutes on high, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking.
  9. If using optional veggies, stir them in during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  10. Once the noodles are tender, give the dish a final stir, taste for seasoning, and adjust if needed. Serve warm and enjoy!
