Slow Cooker Egg Noodles and Chicken
Alright, so you could also prepare this in a big pot or Dutch oven on your stovetop. However, why is slow cooking the best option when you’re busy? That was all I produced when I first started out as a food blogger. You kind of go back to all those Crock Pot recipes you had as a child because that’s how your mom cooked.
Then you venture out once you get bored. Since then I have made all the things. Yes, the meat tastes fantastic in this dish, but as I grew older, I preferred stronger flavors. Replace water with pickle juice, chicken broth, or in this case, pepperoncini juices to elevate the flavors to a whole new level.
Although wide egg noodles are my favorite, you can really use any kind of pasta to make this Crockpot chicken recipe. I’ll use frozen noodles as well if I have them on hand, and I’ll explain both to you.
Frozen Chicken and Noodles
Indeed, you can begin using your meat straight from the freezer, frozen. Seriously Crockpot frozen chicken is a game changer y’all.
- Hear me out: I don’t always remember to prepare everything. You need to keep in mind to keep your pieces apart. I like medium size breasts for this.
Run them under cool water and use your hands to break them apart if they are stuck in one chunk. It may surprise you to learn that the time required to prepare frozen chicken and noodles in a slow cooker won’t increase. This is where it will defrost, cook, and disintegrate because it is submerged in the heated liquid. You’ll need;.
- I would use 4-6 of those boneless, skinless chicken breasts, though thighs would also work.
- Packet of Ranch dressing mix
- Gravy mix chicken gravy style
- Celery chopped, optional
- Carrots peeled and cut into dials, optional
- 1/4 cup of the jar’s juice from one cup of pepperoncini peppers
- 2 c egg noodles uncooked
- Salt and pepper to taste when done
If you enjoy simple dishes, you could definitely omit the vegetables or nearly double them. You could chop up a rotisserie chicken and prepare this sauce for an easy, one-pot meal. It is still very much comfort food, so cook it covered on low for a few hours to really let it soak it all in.
