Ingredients

  • 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon (liquid or powder)
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Whisk together broth, corn starch, chicken bouillon, parsley, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, thyme and sage in a 3-4 quart slow cooker.
  • Add the chicken breasts, cover and cook on low for 3 hours or high for 2 hours.
  • Check that the internal temperature of the chicken is 165℉, then remove from the slow cooker to a cutting board.
  • Turn the slow cooker to high. Stir in the uncooked egg noodles and cream. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Stir and cook another 5-10 minutes until noodles are al dente.
  • Meanwhile, dice or shred the chicken and keep warm until noodles are cooked. Stir in the chicken, taste and serve.

Notes

*This recipe has been updated -- you can find the original version here.
Ingredients and Substitutions:
  • Chicken breasts: you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about twice as many), or precooked shredded chicken. If using precooked chicken, heat the broth in the slow cooker on high for 1-2 hours, then add the noodles. Stir in the chicken in step 5. 
  • Egg noodles: for this recipe you are looking for dried, shelf stable egg noodles in the pasta aisle. If you prefer to cook them separately, reduce the broth to 2 cups.
