Slow Cooker Chicken and Noodles
The recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken and Noodles seems intimidating, but believe me, this recipe is so easy it is easily going to become your favorite. This is one of those dishes that you can start in the morning and let Slow Cook all day, when you come home you only need to add the noodles. This is not Soup!
INGREDIENTS:
24 oz egg noodles, 1 pkg, frozen
2 can cream of chicken soup, 14.7 oz each; sometimes I use 1 can chicken and 1 can cream of celery
1/2 stick butter, cut into pieces
1 can chicken broth, 32 oz; may want extra to thin out if too thick. The frozen noodles thicken the broth.
1 tsp butter Than Bullion, optional; I add for a richer chicken flavor
6 chicken breasts , small, boneless, skinless
salt & pepper, to taste; can add some parsley too if desired
Mixed vegetables, optional I didn’t use this time.
DIRECTIONS:
Salt and pepper chicken breasts.
Place at bottom of the slow cooker.
Spoon soup over chicken.
Cut the butter into several pieces and spread them evenly over the soup.
Whisk the broth with the stock.
Pour over the soup.
Place the lid on the slow cooker and put on low heat. Cook for 6 hours.
Remove the chicken and tear it into pieces.
Return to the crock.
Now add the noodles; if you add vegetables, add them now.
Cook for another 2 hours or until noodles is tender. Stir several times during the last 2 hours. (You may want to add some broth to thin out at the end of cooking, as homemade noodles thicken the broth, which we like. )
Sprinkle with parsley and mix if you use it at the end of cooking.
Season with salt and pepper, if necessary, and serve.
