I call this ‘Amish Neighbor’s Comfort Bowl.’ My Amish neighbor shared this recipe with me, and I’ve made it three times just this week—my kids can’t get enough!
This Slow Cooker Amish Chicken and Noodles recipe is a comforting and easy-to-prepare dish that’s perfect for a cozy family dinner. The slow cooker makes the chicken incredibly tender, and the creamy noodle mixture is both simple and satisfying.
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts | 1.5 pounds |
| Chicken Broth | 4 cups |
| Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup | 1 (10.75 oz) can |
| Garlic Powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Onion Powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | To taste |
| Pepper | To taste |
| Egg Noodles | 12 oz |
| Butter | 2 tablespoons |
| Heavy Cream | 1/2 cup |
| Frozen Peas (optional) | 1 cup |
Instructions:
- Place chicken in slow cooker: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Add broth and seasonings: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken, ensuring the chicken is almost completely covered. Add the condensed cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker.
- Cook the chicken: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
- Shred the chicken: Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, breaking it into smaller pieces.
- Add noodles, butter, and cream: Stir in the egg noodles, butter, and heavy cream into the slow cooker.
- Cook the noodles: Cover the slow cooker again and cook on high for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked to al dente (tender but slightly firm).
- Add peas (optional): If using frozen peas, stir them into the slow cooker and let them warm through for about 5 minutes.
- Adjust seasoning and serve: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm and enjoy this comforting meal!
