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.

Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot, then top with the soups (no water added) and sprinkle with the spices. Add butter slices to the top, and pour in the chicken broth.
- Cook over low heat for 5-6 hours, or high heat for 3-4 hours. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred into large chunks with two forks.

Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos
This is the best chicken and noodle recipe I have tried so far. I used chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts just because I prefer the juiciness and flavor of chicken thigh meat better. Also, I would not recommend cooking the noodles for a full 45 minutes, as they may get a little too mushy.
I made this exactly as written, and it’s wonderful! Even my picky 7-year-old daughter loves it! It’ll definitely be a staple for us!
Great recipe, easy to make as noted. I however wanted less sodium so I used the unsalted boxed chicken broth and low sodium canned cream of chicken soup. Also I added some chopped carrots for a vegetable in the diet.
I added at the time of the noodles. Needed to cook a little longer that time allowed after noodles and should have put them in about an hour sooner.
Very tasty and will cook again
Delicious! I make this meal and have plenty to share with my mom and brother. Everyone who has tried it has loved it. Can’t wait to try other recipes.
I have made this for many years.
I use frozen noodles or kluski noodles because they stand up better.
Here in the Midwest we serve it over mashed potatoes.
Looking for new recipes and this sounds great!
Could you use regular pasta instead of egg noodles? My boys are allergic.
Yes you can!
I would like to add frozen peas and corn, would I add them at the beginning or towards the end?
Towards the end, when there is about an hour left of cook time.
This recipe was so easy! I customized it with heart-healthy soups & the No Yolks egg noodles & it was delicious! It is definitely going to be added to our comfort food recipes. ☺️
This is a staple in my home from fall to spring.
Strange question, but could you perhaps use cream of sweet corn soup instead of cream of chicken?
Sure, that sounds yummy!
I love how this is a one pot and done meal! I even started with frozen chicken breasts. I added carrots and chopped celery, which added some good flavor and veggies. My house smelled wonderful! I only had one cream of chicken soup, so just used a cream of mushroom- no big deal! I also had bow tie pasta, so that’s what I used. I like how it can be versatile with what you have at home. Definitely a keeper! Thanks you.
Did you add the carrots and celery at the beginning or toward the end?
I used a Costco pork roast and added an extra can of soup. In the future I’d eliminate the seasoning salt or eliminate it. Good recipe and easy
if you used a pork roast, it was no longer “crockpot CHICKEN and noodles”..
Right, not even the same thing.
Sounds yummy!! I’ll have to try it sometime
Do you have to use egg noodles in this recipe or can you use a different type of noodle?
Hi Patricia, you can use a different type of noodle, but cooking time will vary. Egg noodles just tend to work well in the crockpot.
This recipe is absolutely delicious! I’ve tweaked a couple of things like low sodium broth and just a couple slices of butter to cut back on the sodium. I also added carrots and celery at about the last 3 hours of cook time! One thing I’d like to know is what a serving size is for this recipe. It says 8 servings at about 357 cal per serving. Just wanting to know the size please.
This recipe gave us 3 servings. I don’t understand how anyone or prepared meals figure it out.
This was our only food along with a salad. I used a large deeper bowl, not the kind that are like a part of a set of dishes. To me this serving of 8 would be like having a side dish before dinner.
So realistically for a family using this recipe for the main course I would double the recipe.
Otherwise this is a delicious meal. I posted a few changes in an earlier post mainly for lower sodium. I will be looking for more from Ashlyn’s book.
Hiii!! Did you mix the veggies in or just on top?
I’ve been making this recipe for about 2 years and I LOVE IT!! I also add about 2 cups frozen broccoli and a cup of shredded mild cheddar during the last hour of cooking (I cook on high). It’s a dinner hit!
Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend, although I added a little more pasta then called for because they’re is ALOT of chicken lol.
I also paired it with Garlic Bread and it is delicious!
My 7 year old granddaughter loves this recipe and she is a real picky eater. Can you tell me how to make in the instant pot
My family love this recipe, my 7 yr d granddaughter who eats like 7 things, begs me to make this. She’ll get 3 bowlin a row. Can you show me how to adapt for instant pot?
Any chance you have this recipe converted to an instant pot?
This is so easy and delicious! My family loves to have this for dinner and reheats well.
It’s everything I could have hoped for.. my house smells like a great Jewish Deli right now 🙂 I read a lot of the comments and a little loose sauce seemed to be a thing so we did 10 oz. pasta instead of 8 directly in crockpot and did additional 1 tsp cracked black pepper and 1 tsp of parsley. No corn, peas, onions… essentially as written.
It’s perfect. It looks just like her photo on the cover recipe and it was INCREDIBLY delicious. Will make again and again. Just a super easy recipe and that chicken was FORK TENDER. perfect. Thanks Belle!
I added a third can of soup and when I added the water noodles, I added about 1/4 cup of sour cream. It was delicious!
this looks so tasty! my boyfriend would love this recipe. I gott a make it for him.
You know, I’ve never even thought about making a noodle dish in my crock pot or instant pot – it’s always just meats and veggies, or maybe rice. This sound amazing, totally inspired – thank you!!
