🍜🍗 The Ultimate Comfort Crockpot Chicken and Noodles

The Ultimate Comfort Crockpot Chicken and Noodles is a cozy, creamy, and satisfying slow cooker dinner made with tender chicken, hearty egg noodles, and a rich, savory broth. It’s the kind of old-fashioned comfort food that’s perfect for busy weeknights, chilly evenings, and family dinners.

The slow cooker does most of the work, leaving you with tender chicken and flavorful noodles in a warm, comforting sauce.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 12 oz frozen egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Add the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.

Pour the chicken broth over the chicken, then add the cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

2. Slow Cook the Chicken

Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 2½–3½ hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

3. Shred the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it into the flavorful broth.

4. Add the Noodles

Add the frozen egg noodles and butter.

Cover and cook on HIGH for approximately 30–45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.

5. Finish and Serve

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Tips for the Best Crockpot Chicken and Noodles

Use frozen egg noodles: They hold their texture well and give this dish its classic homemade feel.

Don’t add the noodles too early: Adding them near the end prevents them from becoming overly soft.

Shred the chicken well: Smaller pieces distribute the chicken throughout the creamy noodles.

Adjust the consistency: If the mixture becomes thicker than you prefer, stir in a little extra warm chicken broth.

This hearty crockpot meal is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with:
