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.

I love this recipe!!! This has replaced our beef and noodles in our dinner rotation- thank you!
So glad to hear that, Christy!
It’s great with diced carrots
Can you add a veggie to this? Maybe some finely chopped broccoli shortly before you add the noodles?
Definitely! Veggies would be great in this!
If my chicken is frozen, do I have to defrost it first?
No need to defrost!
Hi Ashlyn
I really enjoyed to see Crockpot Chicken and Noodles recipe here and also I can change the serving quantity from scroll the addon thanks so much
You’re very welcome!
Just made this tonight—I used a 16 oz package of rotini pasta because I didn’t have egg noodles and it came out great. It was a little more soup-like than I expected, but all 3 of my kids gave it a thumbs-up and we have tons of leftovers!
My kids wanted it to be creamier—think it would be possible to change the cream of chicken soup:broth ratio for a creamier consistency?
I will definitely be making this again! Thank you!
Hi! You could reduce the broth a bit! Leftovers will be creamy after they absorb more of the broth!
Has anyone tried this in an Instant Pot? I wonder about cooking times. For some reason my chicken always ends up dry in my crock pot so I’d like to give the Instant Pot a try with this.
I wasn’t able to make it home for lunch as I had planned so I tried it in the instant pot tonight. I followed the recipe to a T the only thing I was certain of was the amount of noodles. I had a 12oz bag, so I guessed what 8oz was. Oh I did cut chicken into pieces too. I have nothing to compare it, but I thought it was pretty good. It was a little soupy and idk if that’s how it comes out in the crockpot. I cooked for 8min and NPR for about 5min.
Yay Amanda! Glad it worked out for you, and thanks for the Instant Pot tips!
This is delicious. I used bone in Chicken breast and it was perfect.
So glad you enjoyed it, Rhonda!
Love the recipe but just recently started counting calories? How big is the serving size that the nutritional facts are based on?
Mine just went into the crock pot! So excited to try it, it looks delicious! ???? I’ll post a review after dinner tonight!
Hope you enjoyed it, Debra!
Can this be frozen and served another time or will it be to mushy?
When you add the egg noodles, do you cook those on high for 45 minutes or leave it on low?
Usually on high!
Can chicken thighs be used instead of boneless chicken breast?
Sure!
I have already made this and it’s really good but the noodles seemed a bit overcooked. I followed direction perfectly. Any ideas on how to prevent noodles from getting too soft?
Hi Hilary! You may not need to cook them as long if they’re too soft. Check them at about 25-30 minutes and see how they are at that point!
Can you use frozen chicken breasts?
Sure!
Does the chicken still cook thoroughly when being frozen placed into a slow cooker?
Hi Jenna! Yes it always cooks fine for me when I cook it from frozen!
Trying this today, but i had to use beef broth because that’s what i had on hand.. uggh. I hope it still comes out good.
Hope it came out well, Stacie!
I just tried this meal today. And my family loved it. Thanks for posting this.
When you say add 2 cans of creamy chicken do you mean 2 small cans or 2 family sized cans (22oz cans)? Sounds delicious either way!
Hi! Two small cans; 10.5 oz each.
