Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 12 oz wide egg noodles
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Place it in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Pour chicken broth over the chicken, then add minced garlic and dried parsley. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks.
- Add the egg noodles to the slow cooker, submerging them in the liquid. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir.
- Cover and cook for another 20-30 minutes, until the noodles are tender.
- Stir in the butter and heavy cream until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
Notes
- To prevent overcooking, keep an eye on the noodles as they cook in the slow cooker.
- Add extra vegetables like peas, carrots, or spinach for added nutrition.
- For a cheesier version, stir in grated Parmesan or cheddar just before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
