Crockpot Chicken and Noodles
Crockpot Chicken and Noodles – a comforting, home cooked meal made right in your slow cooker. Creamy noodles and juicy chicken are cooked in a savory sauce for a meal the whole family will love!
Hey there, y’all. I know it’s been been awhile since my last recipe post, and I apologize for that. Even though I’ve been feeling better sickness-wise over the past couple of months, my energy level has seriously tanked.
This pregnancy has truly thrown me for a loop and I am in countdown to baby-time! I’ve got roughly seven weeks to go and could not be more ready to meet our little guy!
Something that has been helping, at least where meal times are concerned, has been my trusty crockpot.
I’ve been making a lot of our slow cooker favorites, including Cheesy Crockpot Tortellini, Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos, and Loaded Potato Soup.
I have gotten so achey and uncomfortable over the past few weeks, and my feet and back throb by the end of the day.
Standing over the stove making dinner feels like torture on my sore body, so being able to throw everything I need to make this Crockpot Chicken and Noodles into the slow cooker at the beginning of the day has been a lifesaver.
These Crockpot Chicken and Noodles are a family favorite and I’ve been making it for awhile now.
I use the same spices in it that I do for my Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings, and it creates a deliciously savory sauce for the chicken and noodles to cook in.
My kids devour this one, and it tastes SO good as leftovers the next day, too.
We usually eat this with either a salad or some roasted veggies like broccoli or asparagus. There are never any complaints at the table when I make this!
Now, this recipe does use cream of chicken soup. While I know not everyone is crazy about cream soups these days, I actually have a brand that I really like and that doesn’t contain a lot of junk in the ingredients list.
If you’ve never tried the Organic Cream of Chicken Soup from Pacific Foods, it’s really good stuff! It has great flavor and I feel a lot better about the ingredients, too.
I like to use it in my Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings recipe, too, and also in Slow Cooker Loaded Potato Soup.

Can you add dumplings to this and if so how.
Hi Linda, I have a similar recipe including dumplings here: https://belleofthekitchen.com/easy-slow-cooker-chicken-and-dumplings/
This looks so good i am making it right now. I did substitute a few things like the 2 cans of chicken soup to 2 cans of mushroom soup. I also did not have poultry seasoning or seasoned salt but used Adobo seasoning which is a Goya all purpose seasoning. Ill let you know how it turns out
Hope you enjoyed it, Diana!
I made this a month ago and it was a hit with my whole family. I am making it now and this time I doubled the recipe. Looking forward to supper tonight???? Thank you for the recipe.
Glad your family is enjoying it, Lillian! 🙂
What is poultry seasoning? Can I use other seasonings
It’s a blend of different spices that you can buy premade in the spice section. Here’s a recipe to make your own: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/233909/homemade-poultry-seasoning/
Looks very good trying tomorrow.cant wait.
Hope you enjoy it!
Can I use the frozen homemade noodles I purchased at the store?
Sure!
Could I add mushrooms to this when I add in the egg noodles? Maybe use cream of mushroom soup?
Just thinking as I have tons of ‘shrooms in my fridge.
You could definitely do that!
I just stumbled across this recipe and it sounds delish! I have all ingredients in hand but only 1 can of cream of chicken…any suggestions?
You could cut the recipe in half!
If you have butter, flour, and milk; you can make your own roux and create your own cream soup base also. 🙂
Well you made this 75 year old a believer! I’ve had many a crock pot in my years and basically used them to tote dishes for pot lucks and gatherings. My niece and her husband were driving down from Michigan for a weekend visit and since we have similar tastes, I (bravely) thought I might try your chicken and noodles. I followed your recipe but used 1 can cream of chicken and 1 can cream of celery soup, 2 (14.5 oz.) cans of chicken broth, and 3 huge FROZEN chicken breasts. For the noodles I used Creamettes Dumpling Noodles. Covered and cooked on high 4 hours. All I have to say is 5 of us, including my EXTREMELY picky son, finished this off in one setting, I was thrilled when my old picky said “you can make this again, ANYTIME!) Thank you sooo much, Ashlyn, for posting the recipe!
Your comment just made my whole day! I am so glad to hear your family liked it, Gramma Joz! Making picky eaters happy is always a win! Thank you so much for your comment!
Meant to say I cooked the frozen chicken breasts 4 hours on high! Shredded chicken and added it back to cooker. I then added the noodles, stirred, covered and cooked an additional 45 minutes on LOW.
What size crock pot should I use?
Sharon
Hi Sharon! I use my 6 quart crockpot for this.
I only have a 4 at cooker. Advice?
Hi Barbara, my crockpot is a six quart and this fills it up pretty well. I would suggest cutting the recipe down to fit your slow cooker.
Can I use thighs? They usually stay moist in the crock pot.
Yes! I love to cook with thighs in place of breasts all the time!
Do you add water to the cream of chicken soup (prepare it) or just add it condensed?
Hi Natasha, just add it as is! No need to prepare it.
Loved this dish! I did however add a pound of sauted sliced mushrooms when I added the noodles because I love ‘shrooms. I’m only wondering why Belle of the Kitchen uses light grey type font. I can read it only with difficulty so I may give up this blog.. Where’s the empathy for readers?
Thanks for your feedback, Susan! I will take that to heart and look into making it more user friendly! Definitely don’t want to make it hard for you and others to read!
I’m making this because it looks delicious. I wasn’t sure if the cream of chicken soup is meant to be condensed or ready-to-eat.i guessed condensed. Correct?
Hi Susan, condensed is correct!
Making this now, but all I could find were 12 oz bags of egg noodles, should I add more soup & broth? If so, how much more do you suggest?
Hi Nicole! I wouldn’t worry about more soup, but I’d probably add another 1/2 cup broth. 🙂 Hope y’all enjoy it!
Good morning, I’m cooking this for dinner tonight. It’s only my husband and I so I guess I would cut everything in half. Looks so yummy, I hope it turns out that way.
Hope you and your hubby enjoy it, Michelle!
