 Ingredients

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

• 2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of chicken soup

• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

• 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

• 1 tbsp butter

• 24 oz frozen Amish egg noodles (or Reames-style frozen egg noodles)

• Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

 Instructions

Step 1: Load the Slow Cooker

Place the chicken breasts or thighs into your slow cooker. Add the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and butter.

Step 2: Cook Low and Slow

Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fork-tender.

Step 3: Shred the Chicken

Once fully cooked, remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the slow cooker. Give it a stir to distribute evenly.

Step 4: Add Noodles

Add the frozen Amish egg noodles directly into the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.

Step 5: Cook the Noodles

Cover again and cook on high for 1 hour, stirring halfway through. Noodles should become soft and absorb the broth into a creamy sauce.

 Notes & Tips

• Frozen Noodles Are Key: Look for Amish-style or homestyle frozen egg noodles. These give the dish that signature hearty texture.

• Too thick? Add extra chicken broth or a splash of milk at the end to loosen the sauce.

• More flavor? Add 1 tsp dried thyme or a bay leaf during cooking.

• Leftovers: Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. It thickens as it sits — just add a bit of broth when reheating.

 Variations

• Vegetable Add-In: Toss in frozen peas or carrots 20 minutes before the end of cooking for a complete meal.

• Creamy Upgrade: Stir in 4 oz cream cheese or 1/2 cup heavy cream with the noodles for extra richness.

• Rotisserie Shortcut: Use shredded rotisserie chicken and reduce the initial cook time to 1 hour.
