❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS CROCK POT RECIPE
Cooking in the crock pot creates a wonderful level of convenience. That is one of my favorite things about this recipe. It’s super simple, throw a few ingredients into the slow cooker, come back and add the noodles and you have a delicious meal.
We also love that this is a one-dish meal, which is a favorite! You can add a side salad if you want something with it, but one-dish meals are always a plus!
Slow cooking also allows the ingredients to really meld together the longer it cooks. This will allow for really tender and juicy chicken. This recipe couldn’t be easier, the hardest part is making sure not to overcook the noodles. This recipe is made with egg noodles and they cook VERY fast, and all crock pots vary in heat so you have to watch them.
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
Chicken Breast – These work well in the crock pot and turn out very juicy.
Cream of Chicken Soup – This adds creaminess to this dish. Don’t want to use store-bought? You can make your own!
Chicken Broth – Keeps everything from drying out, and the noodles cook in the juice.
Egg Noodles – These noodles are our favorite and the only ones we have used to make this recipe.
As you can see, this is only 4 ingredients, which makes this dish super simple; however, it is very versatile. Take a moment and read through the many comments on this recipe for other ideas.
SWAPS
You could use chicken thighs in this recipe or other cuts of chicken but I have yet to try them. I also think turkey breast would work perfectly in this if you wanted to try that.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
This is only 4 ingredients and you use 3 in the crock pot. We have even provided a video in the recipe card to show adding the noodles.
PREPARATIONS
There is no real preparations for this dish other than getting your ingredients out and opening the cans of soup. Doesn’t get much easier than that!
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Place chicken breast in crock pot, cover with chicken soup and chicken broth.
Step 2
Cook on high for 4 -5 hours on high (low on 6-7) until chicken is easily shredded. I took the chicken out and shredded it and placed it back in crock pot. All crock pots vary in heat.. If yours gets really hot it may be less time.
Step 3
Add noodles to crock pot chicken and cook for about 12-25 minutes until done. I stirred mine a few times to make sure all the noodles were soaking up the juice. It may look like the noodles won’t fit, but just keep working them into the chicken and juice mixture.
Note: Please pay attention to the crock pot once you add the noodles. Egg noodles cook very fast so pay attention to how quickly they are cooking. Again…All crock pots vary in heat.. If yours gets really hot it may be less time. I recently cooked this on hot to speed up the process, the liquid was very hot, it took 12 minutes to cook the noodles. If you cook your noodles to long they WILL turn to mush.
⭐TIP
I know not everyone is a fan of condensed soups and may not want to use it. If you would like you can make your own and here is our recipe on how to do just that! This way you can control exactly what goes in this recipe.
RECIPE VARIATIONS
As you can see from the comments on this post this is a very versatile dish! You can add any spices your family loves and many have commented they have thrown in vegetables too. You can also add some sour cream or cheese to the final product. This dish is a wonderful base recipe and one you can play with and make your own. We love Italian seasonings, garlic, lots of black pepper, etc. We love it with a side of canned cranberry sauce! It’s sooo good!
SERVE THIS WITH
This dish goes great with a salad and we love this Ranch Cauliflower Salad, you can make it in advance and it’s really good. This Creamy Cucumber Salad is a great one too!
❓FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes, it does, we reheat it in the microwave.
You cooked the noodles too long. Please read the recipe for tips on cooking the noodles.
I used a 4 quart crock pot. It all fit fine. A 5 or 6 quart will work, may cook faster though.

Easy great recipe. Really need to cook noodles prior unless you like your noodles extra starchy. But I wouldn’t definitely make this again with precooked noodles. Thanks for the recipe. And I added frozen peas into mine.
I made this for dinner in crockpot and followed your directions step by step except I added more seasonings- it was spectacular comfort food. So easy and following your directions on noodles which were ready at 15 min mark will keep this on rotation. So easy 4 ingredients
YAY!! So glad this was a hit for you! We love this easy dish and I agree.. it is wonderful comfort food.
Can’t wait to try this.. I have a Roasted chicken that I boiled the carcass and picked the meat off. About how much meat do you think in cups?? Maybe 3 or 4 cups? I have really enjoyed all your recipes and comments as well. Thank You so much for all your wisdom.
Probably 4 cups would work! I am so glad you are enjoying the recipes, we are thrilled you are here!
Do you cook the noodles before you add them to crock pot ?
No you don’t that is why it says to watch them.
Made it. Needs a second can of cream soup.
Jim this recipe has 2 cans already, do you think it needs 3?
Love it! I love the versatility of adding other veggies and seasonings too. I enjoy so many of your wonderful recipes. You ladies are great!
Thank you for the kinds words! So glad you are enjoying them!
This has become one of my “go to” recipes. Not only is it super quick to get ready, it’s also versatile, allowing for additions and/or substitutions (within reason! :D) For example, I realized belatedly that the only cream soup I had on hand this morning was cream of mushroom. Since going to the store would defeat the ease of preparation, I decided to use what was in the pantry and, to compensate, I sprinkled a packet of low sodium chicken gravy mix over the chicken, along with some Montreal Chicken seasoning for a bit of zip.
A side note: For folks who’ve expressed disappointment with this recipe because their noodles got mushy or disintegrated, I would suggest trying it again with No Yolks broad egg noodles. I’ve had no issues with them getting too soft, even when time has gotten away from me and they’ve ended up luxuriating in the chicken and sauce mixture far longer than the time recommended in the recipe.
As many others have said, this is comfort food at its best, and I’m always happy when I have some of the leftovers in the refrigerator just waiting to be reheated!
Love this! Thank you so much for your suggestions!
This was very tasty. I made my own cream of chicken soup. I threw in various herbs just because it looks pretty. Very easy and delicious.Thank you for the recipe. I look forward to your next cook book. I enjoy the dessert cookbook.
So glad you enjoy the dessert cookbook! THank you so much for your support.
Is this with dry noodles? Also, do I need to cook the noodles separately before adding them to the crockpot?
I would suggest reading the recipe or watching the video. It is dry noodles and no you don’t precook them. I think you will love this recipe!
Can I cook this a day ahead and reheat next day
Yes, I have never had an issue with reheating it. You may need to add more broth.
So I actually have shredded chicken already. Can I just add my chicken in the crockpot with the soup, broth on low for a bit then add the noodles?
Yep, you can do that!
Hi Ladies!
Thank you for this recipe! I’m a single lady and would like to halve this and cook it on the stove. I need your advice on how long to simmer 2 chicken breasts in the soup and broth mixture until done. I want to cook the noodles separately and store the leftovers in a plastic bag until ready to reheat.
Thank you in advance for your help!
It will depend on the size of the chicken breast but you can boil a chicken breast in about 10 minutes.
How is it salt free? I am on a strict sodium diet for my heart.
Its not salt free.. and it doesnt say it is. Chicken soup and chicken broth have salt in them.
Great
I found the noodles to be somewhat starchy/pasty by cooking them in the soup mixture. I think if I were to make this recipe again I would cook the noodles stovetop and then add them to the crockpot.
What size crock pot and how many pounds or ounces of chicken did you use?
Hi, I recommend reading the post, all of this informaiton is included on it.
My husband and I are both down with Covid, and the last thing either of us wants to do is cook. This recipe is so easy, and the slow cooker does it for you. This is comfort food at it’s best!
Is there any way to make this without a crockpot?
Im sure you could, just combine chicken ingredients and cook on the stove until done, make noodles and serve over.
I love this! I use the cream of chicken with herbs! Thank you!
Hi Gina,
I think I’m an OK basic cook, but not creative.Thank you so much for your your suggestion of using chicken soup with herbs. What a flavor difference it makes. Bless you and thanks again. Eve
Looking forward to the Cinnamon Swirl bread! And that car story
cracked me up!!!
YAY!!!
Hey Ladies! I see that you both are as pretty outside as you are inside!! Can’t wait to make chicken and noodles in a crock pot! Imagine only 4 ingredients! GREAT
Awww thank you so much for the kind comment! Hope you love the recipe!
I made this recipe yesterday and the basics are a great start. I cooked the chicken, carrots, broth with garlic/onion salt and pepper in my small crock for 6 hours. I shreddered the chicken transferred it all to my Club stock pot then added a half cup heavy cream, broth, green peas and noodles and let cook for 15 min. I finished with some cheese and ritz crackers, broiled till golden brown. It was huge hit for my very picky college grandkids. Thanks so much for sharing.
Not sure what I did but it came out like mush… I only had medium egg noodles, maybe that was part of the problem. Any insight would be helpful… I also am thinking the crockpot was too hot.
Hi! Yes, we talk about this in the entry, it is posted twice in the post:
Please remember that all crock pots vary, so adding the noodles and how long they will need to cook is going to depend on how hot the liquid is in your crock pot. I recently cooked this on hot to speed up the process; the liquid was very hot, it took 12 minutes to cook the noodles.
You cooked your noodles too long if they turned to mush. Hopefully that helps you!
Oh my gosh the same exact thing happened to me with the noodles– mush. However everyone ate it. It only bothered me. I did have the crock pot on “high” and the noodles in there for 30 minutes so way too long. Thanks for the feedback, I’ll remember next time 🙂
I cooked mine intentionally a little mushy and put it on a Hamburger bun It was amazing! My husband is a super picky eater and he loved it!
What a wonderful idea!!
I made this last night, was very good. While I followed the original recipe exactly, I did add vegetables (onion, celery, green peas). My 6 year old grandson was feeling under the weather, and I wanted to make this more of a one dish meal for him. But, in all honesty, if it has chicken and noodles in it, I usually add at least onion and celery anyway. I also sprinkled with garlic powder and a bit of sage, with quite a bit of black pepper.
My family has loved this recipe for years. I found it on your site a long time ago and it continues to be a favorite. It’s the easiest dish in the world. If you can’t make this, you can’t make anything. Lol. Thanks for sharing these simple dishes. My cooking depends on your site!
I did not really like this at all. The only thing that semi saved this recipe was a third of a brick of velveeta added to it. I won’t make it again. I had high hopes but sorry people it was HOPELESS. I wonder if a store bought rotisserie chicken would help? Not going to see though!!!
I loved it , added vegetable broth, onions and carrots in the crock pot with salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, thyme, sage and my chicken. Cooked till chicken was done, shredded it in hunks then put in my noodles when done, added chicken back. Made my cream of chicken soup seperately, then served and let my family decide to eat with broth or add the soup
This was a big hit with my daughter, who is a very picky eater. She said it was one of her favorite dishes. It reheats well if you are lucky enough to have any leftover.
Can the Crock pot Chicken and Noodles be cooked in an instant pot?
Im sure it can, I can’t advise we don’t own an instant pot.
We used our instant pot and used the slow cook setting.
This has become our dish for the holidays. It’s just me and my husband so I make this up and have mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce and we love it! So easy and so comforting!
I love this idea! So glad you enjoy it and we think this dish is sooo good with cranberry sauce!
Made this tonight and the whole family loved it! The only thing I did different was add some chicken better than bouillon in with the broth and added an extra can of broth based on the comments. Will definitely add this to the dinner rotation!
This was so GREAT as written. I added some frozen peas and cheddar the second time. Thanks so much! Love your site, I always know the recipes will be perfect ❤️
Thank you SO much for the kind words, Patti! We’re thrilled you enjoy our recipes.
Hi! If you are cooking the noodles separately (my son won’t eat egg noodles), do you add less chicken broth or how would I make the sauce thicker? Thanks!
I made this tonight. I probably could have put another can of broth in as there as that much left after I put the shredded chicken back into the pot but there was enough to cook the noodles. Just no juice once the noodles were done. Still very yummy!
My question is can I freeze my leftovers? It’s just me and there is a lot left but I didn’t want to try cutting the recipe down.
I have never tried it but I would think you could.
I make this recipe for my family a lot during the fall and winter and it continues to be a favorite!! So easy and delicious!!
I made this exactly per the instructions but in the end I had to add 2 more cups of broth. And it was still thick. But probably the best chicken and noodles I’ve ever had. I used 12 oz medium “Light & Fluffy” egg noodles.
I made this for our Sunday dinner and it was wonderful! I added lots of garlic and onion powder and the flavor was great. The noodles cooked perfectly in about 20 minutes. I love your website and your magazine always such great recipes.
Hi- if I start out with chicken already shredded, how do I go from there? Is it doable? Thanks!
I would add the chicken to the crock pot, with the broth and soup, let it cook on low for few hours to combine the flavors. Then add the noodles at the end.
I made this tonight. I added 2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables when I put the chicken in it. I was surprised that the noodles cooked so well in the crockpot. I did add another can of chicken broth when I put the noodles in cause I didn’t think there was enough broth. It was delicious.
I have made thos several times it’s really good. This time I wanted to add frozen California mix veges. When should I add them to the crockpot, and should I use extra broth, or soup so it doesn’t get to thick and dried out.
Thanks
You will probably need extra broth and I would add them when I cook the chicken and let them all cook together.
We make this often but add peas and cheese!! Yum. Comfort food!
I made this over the weekend. It was good comfort food during this crazy 2020 pandemic! .
When it came time to add the noodles there wasn’t enough liquid to do so. I added another whole can of the broth. When we have the leftovers I will have to add more broth to it. It was good though and very satisfying. I think when I make this again I will saute some onion and garlic to add to the Crockpot. Everything is better with onion and garlic.
Will this work with chicken tenderloins as well?
Yep, it will, but it won’t take as long to cook. So you will need to adjust the time.
I’m looking to make this tonight. I was thinking of adding broccoli as well. Do you think it would go well? Also, what do you think of cooking the noodles separately and mixing it on the plate itself?
I’ve never made it made it this way, I’m sure it would be fine.
In my 6 qt crockpot, I used 3 big cans of chicken instead of the chicken breasts, 1 can of cream of chicken, two cans of cream of mushroom, the broth, some garlic powder, some black pepper, some cornstarch, then I added chopped up celery, 1/2 pound of fresh sliced mushrooms, 1/2 small bag of baby carrots. Let it cookfor 3 hours, then I decided to add a can of young peas. then I added the egg noodles 1/2 hr before eating.
I”m sorry but any idea how much garlic powder, black pepper and cornstarch you added. I’m not the best cook and wanted to give this a try.
In other words, you didn’t make this recipe. You made something completely different :/
It wasn’t very soupy when it was time to add noodles? Idk if that was right or wrong..
I don’t have egg noodles. I have penne and macaroni on hand. Any thoughts on how egg noodles cook differently than other noodles? Thanks
I’ve never tried it with any other noodles. I would suggest just making the noodles separately when the chicken is done and then combining the two.
I actually made up this recipe myself when I had instapotted a whole chicken.
I have an autistic 22 year old son, who does not like any sauces. After I took out the chicken, I realized, wow there is some tasty broth in there. So all I had was elbow macaroni, as he only likes spaghetti noodles and elbow macaroni. I added a box, added enough organic chicken broth to make sure the noodles are covered (important) or you can add just enough noodles to your existing broth, they just needed to be covered with liquid, pop that top back on, set it for 9 minutes, then fast released the pressure, and they were perfect. He loved them! They were plain, but tasty cooking in the broth. Any noodles work! And then I saw this recipe. Wow. So for him, if I used egg noodles, I would not use the soup, I would still just cook them in the left over broth. He might like them that way. But long story short, elbow macaroni is great, and you use the same pot!
Wonderful base recipe, I sautéd onions, celery and carrots and added them about 30 min before I added the noodles. It was delicious.
What wonderful additions! So glad you liked this recipe.
If I substituted cream of mushroom instead of cream of chicken, would it work and still be yummy.
I think that would be great!
So easy!! My noddles were done at 18 mins, added red pepper flakes and parm!! So yummy!! Great comfort food for a chilly night!!
Wonderful! Your additions sound amazing!
I made this tonight for supper. I used your exact recipe. It is amazing!!!
Wonderful! I am so glad you enjoyed it. We love this one too, it’s so simple and definitely comfort food!
Best recipe ever! It’s so simple to make. I add a lot of pepper because we love pepper. Great on a cold day! Definitely comfort food!
Wonderful! So glad this was such a hit! My family loves it too.
I wasn’t sure if it was calling for frozen or thawed chicken breasts. I thawed mine first & just started to make this dish. How should alter my cooking time?
It doesn’t call for frozen chicken. So you will be fine.
Followed directions to a T, and the noodles are basically gone. I only cooked them for 20 minutes. I went to stir it again, and it’s just mostly chicken left. Very disappointed and dissatisfied, especially considering I’m leaving in 10 minutes to the party I was supposed to bring this to.
You can see from the reviews people have had success with this recipe. It says to watch the noodles as each crock pot temperature can be different. Not every recipe is going to work for everyone, sorry this one didn’t work for you.
The same thing happened to me a few years ago while I was making crockpot chicken noodle soup! The reason why is because I used generic brand egg noodles instead of the “No Yolks” brand! The noodles literally evaporated. I never buy any other egg noodles now, especially when using the crockpot.
My daughter is into organic everything, I finally talked her into letting me make this but she will not let me use the can of chicken soup, what can I use instead?
You can make your own soup: https://thesouthernladycooks.com/make-your-own-condensed-creamed-soups-for-recipes/
Did you use water with the soup?
Or just the broth and cans of soup – no water?
I don’t use water.
Recipe is very tasty and easy, however, I did not over cook my noodles but they weren’t that good. Kinda gummy yet firm. I boiled a few noodles in chicken broth and cream of chicken and those turned out perfect. I dont like how the crock pot makes the noodles turn out.
5 stars because I didnt have to scroll through 5 pages worth of background story before finding the recipe. Cant wait to try!
Absolutely delicious! I did add Reames frozen egg noodles instead of packaged egg noodles. This recipe is filling and great comfort food on a chilly even. I’ll certainly be making this again! Thanks for this recipe!
Yay! We’re thrilled you enjoyed it. It’s definitely a family favorite. Thank you for the kind comment.
Extremely bland. I even added broccoli and mushrooms (to make it healthier) and garlic salt because their is no seasoning and my entire family said it was lacking in flavor. Mushy texture as well. Two stars because it was an easy weeknight meal, but I don’t see my family requesting it again.
Do you know what portion sizes you could use to adjust to a 2 quart slow cooker? Would I just half the recipe?
I’ve never made it in a 2 quart slow cooker but I would think that would work.
I was thinking what if I added a half to to full package of onion soup mix to that? I haven’t made the recipe yet but I do like cooking with onion soup mix. I’m thinking it would enhance the flavor a bit more. What do you think? Id love to know what you do think about the onion soup mix addition. Hugs Andrea
I think it would be great! Let me know how it turns out!
This is so easy! It’s definitely a family favorite. We make this all the time.
Easy and delicious!
How many oz should the noodles be?
I used a 12 ounce bag.
Do I cut ingredients in half for two chicken breast
I would think so, I’ve never tried it, but I think that would work well 🙂
I did not…but I wanted less chicken. I added a bag of frozen peas, and fr tonight I added matchstick carrot sticks and I’ll add peas too. Last time I made it I also used less chicken and peas.
Have you had any experience with an electric pressure cooker (instapot)? I’m curious how you would make this yummy meal in it. I have already made these in the cockpot and loved them. (My mom made turkey and noddles for thanksgiving using this recipe!)
I don’t own an instant pot so I can’t give any advice on how to make it that way. So sorry! However I am so glad your Mom enjoyed turkey and noodles using this recipe, that makes me so happy! Thank you so much for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend.
Do you have to pre cook chicken or just cook them in crock pot for 5 hrs
You don’t have to precook the chicken.
It sounds to me like you cooked the noodles too long and they dissolved. Some crock pots get hotter than others and you have to watch when cooking something like pasta.
Love love love this recipe!! I made it for dinner tonight with a few tweaks. I used a family pack of boneless skinless chicken thighs and added a heavy dose of Italian seasonin along with our usual season salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I cooked it for 5 hours on low, shredding the chicken and put the noodles in for about 18 minutes. Once plated, added peas and carrots to mine (hubby hates veggies) and it was a hit. This will now take up permanent residence in our dinner rotation. Thank you for such a great recipe!!
You’re so welcome Marcy! I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe and your tweaks sound delicious. This is one of our favorites too!
What size crockpot did you use? 6 qt?
My crock pot is 4 quarts and it was full to the top.
Do you add water to the condensed cream of chicken soup or just put the can in undiluted?
No water added, just the can.
I’m assuming you use skinless chicken, right?
Yes.
This is one of my favorite go to recipes because of its ease, taste and everyone in my house loves it. Going to make it again tonight.
I’m so glad you like this recipe. We love it too. Thank you for letting me know. Have a wonderful week!
What are some good sides to go along with this meal?
Any salads, fresh vegetables, roasted Brussels sprouts. Here is a list of side dishes: https://thesouthernladycooks.com/vegetables-and-side-dishes/
What is the serving size for the exact recipe?
My crock pot is 4 quarts and it was full to the top. The recipe states it is 8-10 servings.
Do you boil the noodles first then add them? Or add them and let them cook with everything else?
No, you don’t cook them before hand. You add the noodles to the crock pot for the last 30 minutes. Some crock pots are hotter than others, so you will need to check on them.
What is the question?
This was fantastic! Everyone loved it. Comfort food at it’s finest! Thank you.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe! Thank you so much for letting me know! Have a wonderful Christmas.
Can I use frozen chicken?
Yes, it just may have to cook longer before you add the noodles.
This is essentially the recipe I use, albeit with a couple of additions. At the beginning I add poultry seasoning & pepper.& when I put the noodles in I add parsley. Total comfort food!
I’d think frozen peas could be added 20 mins before noodles so they can kind of steam/warm in the juice..All ready warmed cooked peas at the end.
When did you add the green peas? I am going to make this for a ladies group, and I don’t use the crock pot much. I plan on cooking on low all day. Thanks for your help!
Where is the print button?
Above and below each recipe. There is a green icon above the first picture.
I don’t know what I did wrong, but my noodles literally disintegrated. All I had was shredded chicken and sauce. Any ideas what I did?
I followed the recipe, but clearly I did something.
Thanks
Becky, it sounds like the noodles cooked to long. All crock pots are different so your crock may have gotten hotter than mine. I can only guess that was the issue.
Thank you. I’ll see what I can do about that. I appreciate your help. I will definitely try this again.
I made this tonight using 4 thinly sliced chicken breast crock pot on high only took 4 hours to cook! Added minced garlic,minced onion, sea salt and cracked black pepper and it was absolutely amazing!!! Also added frozen peas for color and some crunch!!!
I am so glad you enjoyed it Jess. Your additions sound amazing! Thank you for sharing.
I added a bag of frozen peas and carrots when I added the noodles. A meal in one!!
Sounds wonderful!
This poem reminds me of some of the above comments.
I didn’t have potatoes,
So I substituted rice
I didn’t have paprika
So I used another spice.
I didn’t have tomato sauce
I used tomato paste
A whole can, not a half can
I don’t believe in waste.
A friend gave me the recipe,
She said you couldn’t beat it,
There must be something wrong with her
I couldn’t even eat it.
Copied
Margaret, this is wonderful!! I love it! Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
Good grief people either follow the recipe or find a different one!
LOL! 😉
Can this recipe be adjusted to use an ” instant pot” ?
Hello Sandy, I don’t own and “instant pot” so I really can’t give any advice on how to adjust the recipe.
Leaving for church, dumped the chicken and soup,broth in, substituted mushroom for one of my soups,low 8 hours, I love your ideas, thanks
Is this freezer friendly?
Honestly, I have never frozen this dish, so I can’t really advise.
When you add the noodles is that 30 minutes part of the original time (I was going to do 8 hours on low) or is that in addition too?
I cooked my chicken for 8 hours and then added the noodles for 30 minutes. Some crock pots heat up more than others so it may not take a full 8 hours, but mine on low for 8 hours was perfect.
What to serve with this?
You could always just serve it with a side salad, or a side of any vegetable.
It looks yummy.
I made this tonight followed directions but noodles came out sticky/mushy. Any suggestions?
I don’t know, maybe the noodles cooked to long, some crock pots get hotter than others and may not need to cook as long.
If you have a dollar general where you live they have clover valley brand noodles that work really well with this dish or use frozen
What size bag of egg noodles does this call for? 8 oz or 12 oz?
I used a 12 ounce bag.
What size crockpot does this work in? I want to make a double batch and need to know how big of a crockpot that I would need.
My crock pot is 4 quarts and it was full to the top.
Does the chicken need to be completely thawed?
No, I wouldn’t think so, just may take longer to cook.
Do you cook the noodles first?
Nope, it says it the recipe you don’t precook the noodles. Enjoy!
This was a great easy and cheap dinner! I have a family of five to feed and i was able to buy all i needed for 12 bucks! I did make a few changes tho! I added 1/2 a can of corn and 1/2 a can of green beans and about a table spoon of red pepper flakes for a little flavor. Every one loved it!! The crisp of the corn and green beans added great texture and the red pepper flakes were just the right amount of heat! You can do so many things to this recipe to change it up! Yum!
What a wonderful review of this easy recipe! Thank you so much! Your additions sound delicious!
I made this last night and it was tasty. I think next time I’d either add fewer noodles or more broth as everything kind of stuck together when the liquid was soaked up. I think it needed only a little more moisture to make it perfect. I added chopped onion and ground pepper to get more flavors. I love them simplicity of this recipe and it definitely qualifies as comfort food! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting me know. Have a wonderful day!
When you put the noodles in for a half hour, do you cook on high?
Peter, I left mine on low, but my crock pot cooks pretty hot, so the chicken and juices were bubbling. You may have to if your crock pot isn’t that hot.
My daughter can’t eat eggs, will this recipe work with traditional pasta?
I haven’t made it with traditional pasta, but see no reason why it wouldn’t. Enjoy!
I use Brown Rice pasta if that helps. Just follow the cooking instructions on the bag and keep checking til you get the correct consistency.
I used cream of onion soup instead of the chicken soup, diced up some onion, carrots and celery too. Really great recipe for those busy days. My husband and I are both night shift nurses and recipes like this are always a huge help to us.
So glad you enjoyed it!!!
