Notes
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Be sure to use a 4-quart or larger slow cooker for this recipe so that you have enough room to stir noodles.
- Stir a few times while the noodles cook to prevent them from sticking together.
- If you use dried noodles instead of frozen noodles, you may need to add more liquid. Monitor, add broth as needed, and stir often.
- If preferred, chop the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces before placing it in the slow cooker instead of shredding it when cooked.
- This recipe is designed and has only been tested with frozen homestyle egg noodles.
