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.

• 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
