How to Make Crockpot Chicken and Noodles

Step 1 – Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart crockpot.

Step 2 – In a bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. Pour this mixture over the chicken.

Step 3 – Add butter, diced onion, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, until chicken is tender and easily shreds.

Step 4 – Remove chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.

Step 5 – Add the uncooked dry egg noodles to the crockpot. Stir gently to combine.

Step 6 – Cover and cook on high for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Serve warm, garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!

Expert Tips

• Cooking Time – We usually cook this recipe on low but you can also cook on high for 3-4 hours. 
• Noodle Texture – The noodles will continue to absorb liquid as they sit. If you prefer a soupier consistency, you can add more chicken broth when adding the noodles.
• Shredding Chicken – You can easily shred the chicken with two forks but you can also learn how to shred chicken with a mixer.
