How to Make Crockpot Chicken and Noodles

- Stir in the peas. Finally, stir in some frozen peas. Serve it up and enjoy.
My friend recently told me how much she enjoys my Chicken Enchilada Soup and that shredding the chicken at the end is totally worth it. I then gave her a mind-blowing lesson on how to shred chicken.
You must shred the chicken after making this recipe for slow cooker chicken and noodles. Take it out of the slow cooker and place it in a bowl or the stand mixer’s bowl. Next, shred the chicken with a hand mixer or your stand mixer’s paddle attachment.
I will politely disagree if you believe that this isn’t worth doing the extra dishes. It’s worth it to add an additional bowl so that I don’t have to shred the chicken by hand because this crockpot meal only requires one dish to clean at the end of the night.
Cooking Noodles in the Slow Cooker
Noodles cook quickly in a slow cooker; if you set it to high, it takes less than 30 minutes. When the noodles cook in the heated recipe, they absorb the liquid.
Although slow cooker noodles don’t quite have the same texture as boiled noodles, they still work incredibly well in this tasty recipe. For this recipe, the noodles cooked perfectly after 25 minutes.
This recipe is not gluten free. Both the condensed soup and the noodles contain gluten.
Yes, if you stick to using 8 ounces of small noodles, most of them (like rigatoni, shells, and penne) will work in place of the egg noodles.
