- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 12 oz Amish-style egg noodles (or wide egg noodles)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Layer the chicken.
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker. - Add liquids.
Pour the chicken broth over the chicken. Add the cream of chicken soup and gently stir to combine. - Slow cook.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is very tender and easily shreds. - Shred the chicken.
Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker and stir it into the broth mixture. - Add the noodles.
Stir in the egg noodles. Cover and cook on HIGH for 30–45 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the noodles are tender. - Season and serve.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste before serving.
Helpful Tips
- If the mixture becomes too thick, stir in a little extra warm broth until you reach your desired consistency.
- For extra richness, stir in 1 tablespoon of butter at the end.
- For added flavor, sprinkle in a pinch of dried parsley or garlic powder.
Serving Suggestions
Serve hot with warm crusty bread, soft dinner rolls, or homemade biscuits. A simple side salad or steamed green beans pairs beautifully to balance the richness.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if needed to loosen the sauce.
