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)
  • ¾ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Poultry Seasoning
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 2 10.5-oz cans Cream of Chicken Soup
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter, cut in slices
  • 2 teaspoons Better Than Bouillon® Chicken Flavor (reduced sodium)
  • 4 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
  • 24 oz Reames® Homestyle Egg Noodles (frozen) or 8 oz Dry Wide Egg Noodles
  • 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 4-6 hours, or until chicken is done and can be easily shredded.

  6. Remove the chicken to a plate using tongs. Cover and 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.

    If using dry Egg Noodles, add them about 12-15 minutes before serving. Stir them in and place the lid back on. Or boil them on the stove and add them before serving.

  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 hot water or broth.

  10. Serve hot.

Recipe Notes

Cook Time

The cook time will depend on how large/thick your chicken breasts are.

The type of noodles you use will also be a factor.

 

Using Fresh Vegetables

*Dice them small and add with the chicken in the beginning. If you want, you can sauté them in a little butter and they will cook faster.

    Okay, quick question. Is there a big difference between chicken stock and chicken bone broth? I’m wondering if I just ruined my chicken and noodles. 🤣

      It will be delicious either way. To me the biggest thing that can ruin a recipe is too much salt!

    Hi there! I plan to make this today and wanted to know what you would do differently if you were making homemade/from scratch noodles?
    My mother in law makes something very similar to this and will not share the recipe (mean, right?!), so I'm going to attempt it and hopefully make it even better! 🙂

      I would add the noodles in las, about 10 minutes before serving. Then check them to make sure they are done to your liking.

        Hello! Making this recipe today and was wondering if you can do the first part on high as well so it doesn't take as long? I would think it's alright just so the chicken gets cooked and need to just watch it doesn't get over cooked. I wanted your opinion on this.

    Very excited to try this. I’m just confused a bit when to add noodles. If I’m using Reames frozen egg noodle, do I add them and cook for another 1-2 hours, or just cook them on high for 15 min like it says in one of the last steps? Thanks

      HI, after removing the chicken, add the noodles and cook until they are done and softened, about 1-2 hours. The chicken will keep, just cover it. You then add the shredded chicken back into the crock when the noodles are done. The 15 minute time is for typical egg noodles, not the Reames frozen as those are thicker and need a longer cook time.

      I am wondering the same! Very confusing as to when to add the noodles!

        Not sure what is so confusing. Add the frozen noodles after chicken is cooked, and cook for 1-2 hours. If using dry egg noodles, the cook time is about 10-15 minutes. Add chicken back in after noodles are done. That is so the chicken doesn't overcook.

    Could I buy shredded chicken from the deli to cut time in half?

      Yes, just pick up the recipe from the point where you add the shredded chicken back in. You may need to cook it a little longer from that point, but check it to be sure.

      Holy crap this was so good! We had a Christmas crockpot party and everyone loved it. I was told to make it next time.

    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.
