Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, corn)
  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Optional: Heat butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, cream of chicken soup, thyme, and parsley.
  4. Place the chicken pieces in the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with the sautéed aromatics (if using), frozen mixed vegetables, and sauce mixture.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  6. Stir in the egg noodles, ensuring they’re fully submerged in the liquid. Cook on high for an additional 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Optional: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, cover, and let it melt for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Sautéing the onion and garlic enhances their flavor, but you can skip this step if short on time.’, ‘Egg noodles cook quickly and absorb the sauce beautifully; avoid delicate pastas like angel hair.’, ‘If the sauce is too thin, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water) and cook for an additional 10 minutes.’, ‘Start with less salt and adjust to taste once the dish is done.’, ‘Keep an eye on the noodles during the last 30 minutes to prevent them from getting mushy.’]
