MY LATEST VIDEOSHow do you make chicken and noodles in a slow cooker?
- utilize your slow cooker to make easy work of cooking some chicken breasts all day in broth
- use my favorite herb and garlic seasoning blend so that you have minimal things to add
- Add frozen egg noodles at the end along with some cream and let cook through
While it is a two step process, it’s still so easy and simple and mostly hands-off.
Can you cook Reames noodles in the slow cooker?
Yes! It will take a little longer than boiling on the stove, but give that you can add them and walk away, it’s totally worth the little bit of extra time it takes. I find if my slow cooker is on high, it takes around 30-40 minutes for them to be cooked.

January 17, 2019 at 3:07 pmDo you remove the chicken stock liquid from the slow cooker along with the chicken or do you leave that in there before you put the noodles in?

January 16, 2019 at 7:53 amThese egg noodles are a bit hard to find but are great. I buy the rotisserie chicken at Sam’s and just use the breast and it is wonderful because the spices they put on the chicken gives the dish a little extra flavor plus I add a can of evaporated milk and half stick of butter. Yummmm !

January 2, 2019 at 2:35 amI have used Reames noodles for years. Walmart carries them and so do a lot of other stores in the freezer section of the store. They do cook up well in Crockpot. Just put them in and cook them with everything else. I also add a little poultry seasoning and/or crushed rosemary.

December 30, 2018 at 4:29 pmI do not have frozen noodles in our stores. Will it be ok to cook our regular noodles on top of the stove, add them to my slow cooker when done and have the same results ?
Jennifer says
December 31, 2018 at 7:52 amThe frozen egg noodles are the Reames noodles but if you can’t find those, I would look for Amish style egg noodles in the dried section instead. You can still add them directly to the slow cooker, but they will take just a bit longer to cook and you may need to add about 1/2 cup more liquid.

December 30, 2018 at 2:11 pmHi Jennifer,,,,,Your recipe for slow cooker chicken and noodles sounds awesome. My only question is where can I purchase frozen egg noodles ? I’ve never seen them around here and I always use package egg noodles that you boil. Will that make any difference.
All your recipes that I’ve tried have been great. Thank you for your help. Happy New Year…..

December 31, 2018 at 7:53 amThank you so much!! The egg noodles I’m referring to are the Reames noodles. If you can’t find frozen noodles, I would look for Amish style dried egg noodles instead. You can still add directly to the slow cooker, but plan on a little extra cooking time and probably 1/2 cup of additional liquid may be needed. Hope that helps!
