Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 2 cups egg noodles
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Mix the sauce: In a bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup with the chicken broth. Pour this mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated.
- Add vegetables: Sprinkle the chopped onion, peas, and carrots over the top of the chicken and soup mixture.
- Set the cooker: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should shred easily when done.
- Cook the noodles: About 30 minutes before serving, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Combine ingredients: Shred the chicken using two forks and mix it back into the slow cooker. Stir in the cooked noodles, combining everything well.
- Season and serve: Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
For a lower-sodium option, choose low-sodium versions of chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Let the chicken rest for easier shredding.
