Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breast boneless skinless
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup 10.5 ounce each
- 1 can chicken broth 14.5 ounce, low-sodium
- 1/2 cup butter cut into cubes
- 1 onion diced, medium
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 ounces egg noodles wide
- parsley for garnish, optional, chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart crockpot.
- In a bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. Pour this mixture over the chicken.
- Add butter, diced onion,thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the crockpot.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, until chicken is tender and easily shreds.
- Remove chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
- Add the uncooked egg noodles to the crockpot. Stir gently to combine.
- Cover and cook on high for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
- Serve warm, garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can also cook on high for 3-4 hours.
- Noodle texture: The noodles will continue to absorb liquid as they sit. If you prefer a soupier consistency, you can add more chicken broth when adding the noodles.
- Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5-6 days.
- The mixture will soak up the liquid as it sits so you will need to add more water or chicken broth when reheating.
