Description
A creamy, comforting crockpot dish that combines the classic flavors of chicken pot pie with tender pasta for a hearty, family-friendly meal.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
3 cups egg noodles
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Place shredded chicken, frozen vegetables, chopped onion, and minced garlic into the crockpot.
- Add cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, milk, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours until heated through.
- Stir in egg noodles, ensuring they are fully submerged in liquid.
- Cover and cook on high for an additional 20–30 minutes until noodles are tender.
- Stir in butter and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning and serve warm.
Notes
Swap cheddar cheese with mozzarella or a cheese blend for a different flavor.
Add mushrooms or celery for extra texture and depth.
Use low-fat milk and reduced-fat cheese for a lighter version.
Add crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Rotisserie chicken works well for convenience and added flavor.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Reheat with a splash of milk or broth to restore creaminess.
Freeze for up to 2 months, though pasta texture is best fresh.
Add noodles toward the end to prevent mushiness.
