Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Medium Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1 Can Cream of Celery Soup - Can substitute Cream of Mushroom or Cream of Chicken
  • 3 Cups Chicken Broth
  • 3 tsp Chicken Rub - Can substitute chicken season, garlic powder, & onion powder.
  • 8 oz Egg Noodles - I use extra wide egg noodles

Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker

Method
 

  1. Remove any excess skin from chicken breasts and place in the bottom of a slow cooker.
  2. Mix soup, rub, any additional seasoning, and chicken broth in a medium bowl. Pour mixture over chicken breast.
  3. Cook over low heat for 4-5 hours, or high heat for 3-4 hours. If using frozen chicken, heat for the first hour on high heat before turning down to low.
  4. Shred chicken breast into large chunks using forks and return to slow cooker.
  5. Add noodles to slow cooker, stir to combine, and cook on high for an additional 45 minutes.

Notes

I like to use a BBQ rub in most of my dishes, since it provides some additional flavor. Don't skimp on this. Season generously or you'll have a bland dish.
If you don't have a BBQ rub, use a poultry salt in combination with Garlic and Onion Powder.
