Crockpot Chicken and Noodles requires only about 10 minutes of hands on time, and is total comfort food. With chicken, noodles, and some simple veggies you have a whole meal in your slow cooker when you get home. At the end of this slow cooker chicken and noodles recipe, you need to shred the chicken. Remove it from the slow cooker, and throw it in a bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Then using a hand mixer or the paddle attachment of your stand mixer, shred the chicken. If you are thinking that this isn’t worth washing those extra dishes, I will respectfully disagree. This crockpot dinner is just one dish to clean at the end of the night, so adding one more bowl so that I don’t have to shred chicken by hand is absolutely worth it. Benefits of making this from scratch include:
Making it lower in sodium. You can completely control the sodium of this when you make it yourself. Making it dairy free. If you have a dairy allergy in your house, you can replace the butter in this recipe with vegan butter, and the milk with soy milk.
While noodles cooked in the slow cooker don’t have quite the same texture as boiled noodles, it works very well in this delicious recipe. For this recipe, 25 minutes was the perfect amount of time for the noodles. Please note that if your family does not care for egg noodles, you can replace them with a different type of pasta. Most small noodles (like penne, shells, rigatoni) will work in place of the egg noodles if you stick to using 8 ounces.
