Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 1 1/2 – 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken soup (do not add water)
- 1-2 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
- 1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 stick butter, sliced
- 3 1/2 cups chicken broth
Noodles
- 8 oz egg noodles, uncooked
Instructions
- Prepare the crockpot. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot to form an even layer which will serve as the base for the dish.
- Add soups and seasonings. Top the chicken with the two cans of cream of chicken soup without adding any water. Sprinkle dried parsley, seasoned salt, poultry seasoning, and garlic powder evenly over the soup layer for a balanced flavor.
- Add butter and broth. Arrange sliced butter on top of the soup mixture, then pour in 3 1/2 cups of chicken broth to ensure ample cooking liquid and enhance the creamy texture of the sauce.
- Cook the chicken. Cover and cook on low heat for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender enough to shred easily.
- Shred the chicken. Carefully remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred into large chunks using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot to mix with the sauce.
- Add egg noodles. Stir in the uncooked egg noodles evenly into the crockpot mixture, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid for proper cooking.
- Cook noodles. Continue cooking on low for an additional 30-45 minutes until the noodles are tender and have absorbed the flavors from the broth and sauce.
- Serve and enjoy. Once the noodles are cooked, gently stir and serve hot for a comforting and satisfying meal the whole family will love.

- Use fresh parsley instead of dried if preferred, adjusting amount accordingly.
- Feel free to add vegetables like peas or carrots during the last 30 minutes of cooking for added nutrition.
