Ingredients

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Broth and Soup

  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 2 (10.5 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup

Vegetables and Extras

  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 8 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 (24 ounce) bag frozen noodles

Instructions

  1. Prepare chicken and seasonings: Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Sprinkle garlic salt, dried minced onion, and black pepper evenly over the chicken to season it thoroughly.
  2. Add liquids and vegetables: Pour the chicken stock and cream of chicken soup into the slow cooker. Add the sliced carrots and butter, distributing everything evenly around the chicken.
  3. Cook chicken mixture: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  4. Shred the chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks or your hands.
  5. Add noodles and peas: Place the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker along with the frozen noodles and peas. Stir everything together well to combine all ingredients.
  6. Cook noodles and finish: Cover the slow cooker again and continue cooking for an additional 1 ½ to 2 hours until the noodles are completely cooked through and tender.

Notes

  • Use frozen egg noodles for best texture and convenience.
  • If you prefer, you can substitute cream of chicken soup with a homemade béchamel or cream sauce for a fresher taste.
  • Adjust cooking times slightly if your slow cooker runs hot or if using thin chicken breasts.
  • For added flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like thyme or parsley in the final stages.
  • This dish can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
