Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 1 1/2 – 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken soup (no water added)
- 1-2 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp seasoned salt
- ¼ tsp poultry seasoning
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ½ stick butter, sliced
- 3 1/2 cups chicken broth
Noodles
- 8 oz egg noodles, uncooked
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly at the bottom of the crockpot to form the base layer for the dish.
- Add Soup and Seasonings: Top the chicken with the two cans of cream of chicken soup, making sure not to add any water. Sprinkle dried parsley, seasoned salt, poultry seasoning, and garlic powder evenly over the soups for flavor.
- Include Butter and Broth: Arrange slices of butter over the top mixture, then pour in 3 1/2 cups of chicken broth to add moisture and create a rich sauce.
- Cook the Chicken: Cover and cook the mixture on low heat for 5 to 6 hours or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender enough to shred.
- Shred the Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them into large chunks using two forks for a nice texture.
- Add Noodles and Combine: Return the shredded chicken back into the crockpot. Add the uncooked egg noodles and stir gently to combine everything evenly.
- Cook the Noodles: Continue cooking on the crockpot for an additional 30 to 45 minutes until the egg noodles are tender and fully cooked.
- Serve: Once the noodles are tender, give everything a final stir and serve warm for a delicious, comforting meal the whole family can enjoy.
Notes
- This is a comforting, home-cooked meal made entirely in the slow cooker, perfect for hands-off cooking.
