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 chickpea pasta be used as a substitute for the egg noodles? Any other modifications that would be needed if I were to do so?
Hi Alison, I use chickpea noodles frequently but I haven’t tried them in this recipe. If you choose to use them, I would cook them separately (since you need to rinse them) and then add to the chicken/gravy right before serving.
This looks delicious and so easy to make in the crockpot. I’ll definitively try your recipe. Congrats on your new baby.
Chicken and noodles have always been one of m favorite comfort dishes. I can’t wait to try this for tomorrow’s dinner!
This is an easy and comforting dish! It’s great that it’s made in the crockpot for easy prep and cleanup.
This looks like a good comforting dinner meal for when you are need of a good home cooked meal!
OOo yum, I love when I can use my crockpot. This looks amazing!
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.
