Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 package frozen egg noodles (24 oz)
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz each); substitute 1 can with cream of celery if desired
- 1 stick butter (1/2 cup), cut into pieces
- 1 can chicken broth (32 oz), with extra for thinning if needed
- mixed vegetables (optional)
- 1 tsp Better Than Bullion (optional, for richer chicken flavor)
- 6 small or 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- salt & pepper to taste
- parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken breasts and place them at the bottom of your Crock Pot.
- Add the Soup and Butter: Spoon the cream of chicken soup over the chicken. Scatter the butter pieces evenly on top of the soup.
- Prepare the Broth: In a bowl, whisk the Better Than Bullion with the chicken broth, then pour the mixture over the soup and chicken.
- Slow Cook: Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours.
- Shred the Chicken: After 6 hours, remove the chicken and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return the chicken to the Crock Pot.
- Add Noodles and Vegetables: Stir in the frozen egg noodles. If you’re adding vegetables, toss them in at this time. Cook for another 2 hours on low, stirring occasionally.
- Final Touches: If the dish becomes too thick, thin it out with a little extra chicken broth. Sprinkle with parsley if you like, then taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- Serve: Ladle the comforting chicken and noodles into bowls, and enjoy!
