Ingredients
-
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
-
6 cups chicken broth
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (optional)
-
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
-
12 oz egg noodles
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
Place the chicken into the crockpot. Pour in the chicken broth and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and poultry seasoning.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is very tender and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
Stir in the cream of chicken soup and butter until smooth. Add the egg noodles, making sure they are submerged in the liquid.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 30–45 minutes, stirring once halfway, until noodles are tender and the mixture is creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Notes
-
Chicken thighs provide extra richness, while breasts are leaner.
-
Stir noodles gently to prevent clumping.
-
Sauce thickens as it cools—add broth if needed.
-
Do not overcook noodles to avoid mushy texture.
