Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Amish Chicken & Noodles

Ingredients (5) :

• 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:

1. Layer the chicken.
   Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
2. Add liquids.
   Pour the chicken broth over the chicken. Add the cream of chicken soup and gently stir to combine.
3. 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.
4. Shred the chicken.
   Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker and stir it into the broth mixture.
5. 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.
6. 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.
