How to make Crockpot Chicken and Noodles!

This delicious recipe is a piece cake or in this case, a crock of chicken.  Simply place your diced onion, garlic, chicken breast, spices and butter in the crockpot and cover with chicken broth.  Cook on high for 3-4 hours and on low for 5-6 hours.  When cooked tender, shred the chicken and add the egg noodles.  Cover and cook on high for 15-20 minutes.

Mix cornstarch and broth together and slowly stir in. Cook on high for additional 10-15 minutes to thicken the broth and cook the noodles until tender.  I like the Amish style egg noodles but they take just a tad longer.  Season with salt & pepper to taste and fresh or dried parsley.  Serve promptly and if reserving leftovers store them in the refrigerator as soon as possible because the hot crock will continue to cook the noodles and make them mushy.

This delectable chicken crockpot recipe is super kid-friendly but if you think that you need a little more pizzazz consider these options.

Notes

You can use other egg noodles but they will cook a little faster than the Amish noodles so only cover and cook on high for about 10 minutes before adding the cornstarch mixture and proceeding with the rest of the recipe.
