I couldn’t find the frozen egg noodles
Though the frozen egg noodles are becoming more common, not every grocery store has them. You can use a bag of homestyle egg noodles instead. Keep an eye on the moisture level in the crock as it’s possible they will need more broth.
Can I use frozen chicken breasts?
It has been deemed unsafe to use frozen meat or poultry in a slow cooker by the USDA. The reason is that the meat will stay at the unsafe temperature range that bacteria can grow at for too long.
I would recommend thawing your chicken in the fridge a day or two before you cook the recipe.
Is this a good recipe for kids?
Yes it is! Kids seem to really like this crock pot chicken and noodles recipe. I think it is because it is not a strong tasting meal. And kids love noodles!
You can leave out the garlic and poultry seasoning if you have especially sensitive (or picky) eaters.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Noodles are pure comfort food! These comforting chicken and noodles are an easy, classic meal that will feed a hungry bunch!
- 4 Chicken Breasts (boneless/skinless)
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Poultry Seasoning
- 1 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 cans Cream of Chicken Soup
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, cut in slices
- 2 tsp Better Than Bouillon® Chicken Flavor (reduced sodium)
- 4 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
- 24 oz Reames® Homestyle Egg Noodles (frozen)
- 2 cups Frozen Mixed Vegetables (optional)
Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and garlic powder.
Spread the soup over the top of the chicken.
Add the sliced butter on top of the soup layer.
Mix together the bouillon and chicken broth to dissolve it. Then pour over chicken/soup layers.
Place the lid on the crock and cook on Low for 5-6 hours, or until chicken is done and can be easily shredded.
Remove the chicken to a plate using tongs. Set aside.
Add the noodles to the soup mixture (and frozen veggies, if using). Stir well. Place the lid back on and cook on High for another 1-2 hours, stirring halfway through cook time.
Meanwhile, use two forks to shred the chicken. Then cover so it doesn't dry out.
When the noodles are done, Add the shredded chicken to the crock and mix well. If the chicken and noodles is too thick for your liking, just add some water or broth.
Serve hot.

Can I cook this then freeze and reheat!?
Hi Monica, I wouldn’t, since the noodles were already frozen once.
Yes I do it all the time.
I made this recipe last night and it was AMAZING 🙂 I definitely recommend for everyone to try this recipe out!
Love this recipe. It’s my go to when cooking for others recovering from illness or surgery!
Made this today and I used bagged noodles. Turned out very pasty. Added more liquid like recipe called for. Unfortunately not a fan of the finished product.
Oh darn! Which noodles did you use? Wide egg or the dumpling kind (they both come in bags)? Dry or frozen? How long did you cook them?
I made this tonight but used cheese tortellini instead! Omg delicious!!!
recipe was wonderful first day but noodles absorbed any liquid and was dry next day. What should I add to get it back to first day creaminess?
I would add some broth or water when reheating.
How long do you cook if you use canned chicken breast!
I think in that case I would heat the soup on sauté, then add the noodles and follow my instructions from that point. Then add the canned chicken at the end and let it sit a few minutes to heat through.
Cook your noodles on the stove, then add them to the crock pot.
Absolutely loved it. I added some white wine and shallots to mine. I will make it again.
This was unbelievably AMAZING! It’s a definite keeper!! Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe!! I’ve never heard my husband rave so much as he did this. MANY THANKS!!
That’s awesome!
This was so yummy. I added a bag of frozen peas & carrots. So good with some crusty rolls.
I made this tonight. I’ve been making more crockpot meals. So much easier for me . It was delicious. My family loved it. I will be making again. Thanks
So yummy! Made it and served it over mashed potatoes (a recommendation from a coworker) and it is one of the best crockpot meals I’ve ever made. Hubs had lunch for almost a whole week with the leftovers.
Do you leave the chicken on the counter while the noodles cook for the 1-2 hours or refrigerate? Does it hurt to cook the shredded chicken and noodles together?
I put in the fridge.
