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.

Made it kinda sketchily because I started it, and we left to look for missing heifers. We got home about 1 1/2 hours later-not the 18 minutes the recipe said. I used dry home made noodles, the 1/ 2 stick of butter, and 6 thighs. It was so good the 3 of us ate most of it. If it's still there, it's my breakfast plan in the morning.

I used bone in, skin on chicken thighs.

Will bone in/skin on thighs work?
Sandy
Yes, it may change the cook time.
Ashley
Do I stir it at all while the chicken is cooking? I’ve not used a crockpot before. It has me nervous
Sandy
No, just let it cook.
