Slow Cooker Chicken and Noodles

When you want to make an easy yet delicious and filling meal, this is a great recipe to try. These comforting chicken and noodles made in the crock pot are super easy! This is a family favorite recipe!

If you would like to make this recipe in the Instant Pot®, here is that recipe: Instant Pot Chicken and Noodles.

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.

Author: Sandy Clifton
Ingredients
  • 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)
Instructions
  1. Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and garlic powder.

  2. Spread the soup over the top of the chicken.

  3. Add the sliced butter on top of the soup layer.

  4. Mix together the bouillon and chicken broth to dissolve it. Then pour over chicken/soup layers.

  5. Place the lid on the crock and cook on Low for 5-6 hours, or until chicken is done and can be easily shredded.

  6. Remove the chicken to a plate using tongs. Set aside.

  7. 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.

  8. Meanwhile, use two forks to shred the chicken. Then cover so it doesn't dry out.

  9. 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.

  10. Serve hot.

    Do I stir it at all while the chicken is cooking? I’ve not used a crockpot before. It has me nervous

    If using noodles that aren’t frozen how long should they be added to crockpot before serving?

      Add them and don’t bring the pot back to pressure. Instead, use the sauté feature to cook the egg noodles to desired doneness. Stir occasionally!

    This tasted exactly as I hoped it would. Perfect meal for a cold, rainy Monday. Followed directions exactly .
    I love the crockpot recipe as I think it “blends” the ingredients so nicely.
    Thank you for a wonderful recipe that I will definitely make in the future.
    Very easy to make and perfect for everyone.

    could I use dry egg noodles?

      Yes. Try adding them about an hour before serving. Stir once halfway through. Depending on the thickness of the noodles, you may need a little more or less time.

      I don’t cook it any longer. The chicken goes back in after the noodles are done.

    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?

    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.

    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.

        I parboiled the noodles ( bagged) separately..then added them and the frozen veggies near the end….about an hour more time cooking. It was so delicious…served homemade biscuits on the side. I also used 12 oz. bag so liquid was not all soaked in. Warm, comfy and cozy …a family favorite now! Thank you!

    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?

    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?

        Im sure dry bagged. Hence why it didn’t turn out. I been making this for a long time. It turns out if you cook it right! Cannot stand when people rate/comment when they change the recipe.

      Well I wonder why..she said FROZEN NOODLES NOT BAGGED. So your comment is unwarranted. If you change the recipe keep your bad comments to yourself. I wouldn’t be a fan either if I made it incorrectly. smh

      Hi Monica, I wouldn’t, since the noodles were already frozen once.
