  • 1.52 Pounds Chicken Breast
  • 2 10.5 Oz Cans Cream Of Chicken Soup
  • ½ Stick Butter, cut into pats
  • 3.5 Cups Chicken Broth
  • 12 Oz Egg Noodles

Seasonings

  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Chicken Bouillon
  • 24 Tablespoons Dried Parsley

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the crockpot, then season them evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chicken bouillon for enhanced flavor.
  2. Add Soup Layer: Spoon the two cans of cream of chicken soup on top of the chicken breasts and gently smooth it out to cover the meat.
  3. Add Butter and Broth: Distribute pats of butter over the soup layer and pour in 3.5 cups of chicken broth to create a rich cooking liquid.
  4. Cook Chicken: Cover the crockpot and cook on high heat for 3 to 4 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and infused with the creamy sauce.
  5. Shred Chicken and Add Noodles: Using two forks, carefully shred the cooked chicken inside the crockpot, then add the egg noodles, stirring to ensure they are fully submerged in the liquid.
  6. Cook Noodles: Cover and continue cooking for an additional 20 to 30 minutes until the egg noodles are tender and fully cooked.
  7. Finish with Parsley and Serve: Stir in 2 to 4 tablespoons of dried parsley for a fresh herbaceous note, then serve the hearty chicken and noodles warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of chicken broth slightly or add the noodles later in the cooking process.
  • You can substitute egg noodles with other pasta types, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Use low-sodium chicken broth and bouillon if watching sodium intake.
  • Fresh parsley can be used instead of dried parsley; add it at the end to preserve flavor.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
