Crockpot Chicken and Noodles

This Crockpot Chicken and Noodles is the kind of slow cooker comfort food that fills the kitchen with warm, savory aroma and invites everyone to the table. Tender chicken slow cooked in a creamy blanket of soup and butter becomes the base for pillowy egg noodles that soak up every bit of flavor. The texture is rich and silky, with soft noodles and shreddable chicken that melt in your mouth, while garlic powder and chicken bouillon add a cozy, savory backbone. It is ideal for busy weeknights, easy Sunday dinners, or anytime you want a low-effort meal that tastes like it simmered all day. Serve it alongside a fresh salad or your favorite dinner roll, or pair leftovers with something heartier like crockpot chicken fajitas for a different night. This recipe is forgiving, family friendly, and perfect when you want a warm, satisfying bowl without a lot of fuss.

Ingredients

12 oz egg noodles — Regular egg noodles provide a tender, slightly chewy texture that soaks up the creamy sauce.
1.5–2 lb chicken breasts — Boneless, skinless chicken breasts shred easily after slow cooking and supply the protein for the dish.
1/2 stick butter, cut into pats — Butter enriches the sauce and adds a silky mouthfeel; cutting into pats helps it melt evenly.
Two 10.5-oz cans cream of chicken soup — These cans create the cream base and give concentrated chicken flavor and thickness.
1 tbsp garlic powder — Adds savory depth without the need to mince fresh garlic.
3.5 cups chicken broth — Provides the cooking liquid and balances the condensed soup so the noodles can cook.
Salt and pepper, to taste — Use to adjust seasoning at the end for best flavor.
1 tbsp chicken bouillon — Boosts the chicken flavor; dissolve into the broth for even distribution.
2–4 tbsp dried parsley — Adds a mild herb note and color; adjust to your preference.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot. Arrange them in a single layer if possible so they cook evenly.
Add the cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, chicken broth, chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper. Spoon the soup over the chicken and pour in the broth, then sprinkle the garlic powder and bouillon. Stir gently to combine if needed.
Add pats of butter on top. Distribute the half stick of butter across the surface so it melts into the sauce.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Low yields the most tender chicken, while high is good when you are short on time.
Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the crockpot. Use two forks to shred, then stir the shredded chicken back into the sauce. Tip: Shred the chicken while it is hot for easier results.
Stir in the egg noodles and dried parsley. Push the noodles down into the liquid so they are mostly submerged.
Cook for an additional 30-45 minutes until the noodles are tender. Check at 30 minutes and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cooking time will vary by crockpot model and noodle brand.
Serve warm. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed before serving.
