Notes
- Chicken: If you have a little bit less chicken, this recipe is still delicious. You can add extra vegetables if desired.
- Pasta: While this recipe originally had the noodles cook in the slow cooker, some brands did not work well. We strongly suggest cooking the pasta separately.
- Option to Cook Egg Noodles in Slow Cooker: Add raw egg noodles before serving, stir, then cover and cook on LOW for 10-15 minutes, until pasta is tender.
