This is something I haven’t made in quite a while. Since I got celery and carrots this week with Bountiful Baskets, I decided to make it. I made it a little differently than I have in the past, and I was very pleased with the results. I made it with boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but you could also use 2 pounds of chicken breasts with bones or 2 pounds of thigh and drumstick pieces with bones. You just need to make sure that you get all the bones out since the chicken will be very tender after cooking in the slow cooker. Also, I made this with egg noodles, but you could use homemade noodles, or some other kind of pasta, or even rice.
Slow Cooker Chicken and Noodles
Serves 6
What you need:
2 cups sliced carrots
1 1/2 cups diced onions
1 cup celery
1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, or 2 lbs chicken with bones, skins removed
1 tsp poultry seasoning
5 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
2 cups cooked egg noodles, pasta, or rice
How to make it:
Place carrots, onions, and celery in the slow cooker. Place chicken on top of vegetables, sprinkle with poultry seasoning. Pour in chicken broth and water. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours.
After finished cooking, remove chicken. If using boneless chicken, cut or shred chicken into bite size pieces. If using chicken with bones, remove chicken from bones and cut or shred into bite size pieces. Discard bones. Return chicken pieces to slow cooker. Stir in cooked noodles, pasta, or rice. Serve.
