My crockpot chicken and noodles is a one-pot meal with chicken, creamy chicken-based gravy, veggies, and noodles using my fave frozen homestyle egg noodles.
Arrange chicken breast (4) in a single layer in the bottom of a large crockpot.
Sprinkle chicken with salt (1/2 teaspoon), pepper (1/2 teaspoon), dried thyme (1 teaspoon), poultry seasoning (1/2 teaspoon), garlic powder (1 1/2 teaspoons), and bay leaves (2).
Add the cream of chicken soup (2 cans) on top of the chicken and spread it out in an even layer.
Add the butter slices (8 tablespoons) over the soup.
Pour the chicken broth (4 cups) and Better Than Bouillon (1 tablespoon) that's been dissolved in water.
Cover crockpot with lid and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until chicken is tender and easily shreds. Transfer chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Add noodles (24 ounces) and frozen mixed vegetables (2 cups). Stir to combine. Cover the crockpot with the lid then turn the crockpot to high, and continue to cook for 1-2 hours, or until noodles are tender.
While the noodles and vegetables cook, shred the chicken. Cover so the chicken doesn't dry out. When noodles are tender, return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir to combine. If needed thin the soup with water.
Ladle into individual bowls and sprinkle with parsley. Serve.
Notes
If using the Reames Homestyle Egg Noodles: thaw the noodles until the noodles can be separated without breaking. Once added to the crockpot, stir gently, as the noodles can break.
Please note that as the noodles cook, they will become a little gummy. Keep cooking until the noodles firm up. Once they reach your desired texture, the dish is ready to serve.
