Ingredients and Variations
Chicken – Fresh boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs work well in this recipe. You can also use cooked chicken or leftover turkey with no additional changes to the recipe.
Sauce – We use condensed soups in this recipe as they hold up well to the heat of a slow cooker (fresh dairy can curdle in a slow cooker). Cream of chicken is our first choice but cream of celery works well too.
Vegetables – Frozen mixed vegetables need no prep making this meal extra fast!
If you’ve got fresh vegetables in the refrigerator and add them into the slow cooker to bulk up the meal even more. If using fresh veggies, you’ll want to steam them first or add them earlier so they cook through.
Egg Noodles – The noodles are what make this soup so hearty. Frozen egg noodles like the Reames brand can go straight into the pot. This recipe hasn’t been tested with dry egg noodles, however, they won’t soak up as much liquid so you’ll want to reduce the liquid slightly if using dry pasta.
Variations
- Add your own veggies (like carrots, green beans, corn, peas). Steam them before adding for the best results.
- Season to your liking with onion powder, garlic powder, poultry seasoning or a sprinkle of dried rosemary.
- Feeling more like dumplings instead of noodles? Make crockpot chicken and dumplings with refrigerated biscuits, or make old fashioned chicken and dumplings.

Crock Pot Chicken and Noodles
Juicy chicken, vegetables, and tender noodles in an easy creamy broth cook up effortlessly in the slow cooker.
-
Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Place onion and chicken in a slow cooker. Top with broth, cream of chicken soup, and seasonings.
-
Cook 3 hours on high or until onions are tender and the chicken is cooked through (165°F).
-
Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Add them back to the liquid along with the mixed vegetables and frozen egg noodles.
-
Cook an additional 60-90 min or until noodles are cooked through, stirring after 30 minutes. Do not overcook.
-
Stir in parsley and serve.
Cooking time will remain the same if using cooked shredded chicken to allow the onions to cook through and the flavors to blend.
NOODLES: Use frozen egg noodles such as Reames or homemade egg noodles. Egg noodles can be made in advance and frozen to add to this recipe. One recipe of egg noodles makes approximately the equivalent of 1 package of frozen.
SAUCE: It will seem like a lot of liquid when you add the shredded chicken and noodles to the slow cooker. The noodles will soak up a lot of the liquid.
This recipe is thicker than soup and is designed for frozen noodles to be cooked in the broth. Other types of noodles won’t thicken the sauce the same way.
More broth can be added before serving to reach desired consistency.
If using noodles or pasta other than frozen egg noodles, you may need to reduce the liquid in the recipe and the sauce can be thickened with a slurry.
