Crock Pot Chicken and Noodles is an easy, creamy comfort food dinner that’s perfect for busy weeknights, chilly days, and anytime you need a hearty meal the whole family will love.

Tender chicken thighs cook slowly in a creamy sauce made with cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, sour cream, and chicken broth, seasoned with sage, garlic, onion, and parsley. Then, toward the end of cooking, frozen Amish noodles and mixed vegetables are added right to the crock pot.

The result is a big pot of creamy chicken and noodles with tender vegetables that’s pure comfort food!

And the best part? You don’t have to cook the noodles separately and it’s a full meal ready to serve. 🙌 If you wanted to add something extra, a green salad and crusty bread would be perfect alongside your creamy chicken and noodles.

This is one of those easy crock pot recipes that looks and tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen, but the slow cooker does most of the work for you.

What are Amish noodles?

Have you ever tried frozen Amish noodles? They are so good! They taste like homemade hand rolled noodles with none of the work. You can find them in the frozen section with the frozen pastas, near the ravioli and tortellini. I’m using the Reames brand.

You’ll want 2-12 ounce bags or 1-24 ounce bag.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this easy crock pot chicken and noodles recipe:

• Chicken breasts or thighs – You can use either. I’m using chicken thighs here, but I’ve used both and both are delicious.
• Chicken broth – Adds flavor and gives the chicken plenty of moisture while it cooks. Use low sodium, if possible.
• Cream of celery soup – Adds creamy, savory flavor.
• Cream of chicken soup – Creates the creamy base for the sauce. Use the unsalted or low sodium variety if possible.
• Sour cream – Adds richness and extra creaminess.
• Frozen mixed vegetables – Added toward the end so they don’t overcook.
• Frozen Amish noodles – These thick, hearty noodles are my favorite for this recipe. I’m using the Reames brand found in the freezer section by the frozen pastas.
• Salt, pepper, sage, onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley flakes – A simple combination that gives the chicken and sauce tons of flavor.

How to Make Crock Pot Chicken and Noodles

1. Prepare the crock pot

Spray your crock pot with nonstick cooking spray or use a crock pot liner for easy cleanup.

2. Add the chicken and broth

Place the chicken in the bottom of the crock pot and pour in the chicken broth.

3. Make the creamy sauce

In a bowl, combine the cream of celery soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, salt, pepper, ground sage, onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley flakes.

Whisk everything together until smooth.

Pour the mixture over the chicken.

4. Cook the chicken

Cover the crock pot and cook on LOW for 4½ hours.

The chicken should be cooked through and tender enough to shred easily.

5. Shred the chicken

If you’d like shredded chicken, shred it now. You can remove the chicken and shred it with two forks, or shred it right in the crock pot.

If you prefer larger pieces of chicken, you can leave the chicken as-is.

6. Add the noodles and vegetables

Add the frozen Amish noodles and frozen mixed vegetables to the crock pot.

Give everything a good stir.

7. Finish cooking

Cover and continue cooking on LOW for 1 hour, or until the noodles are plump and tender.

8. Stir and serve

Give everything a really good mix to coat the noodles in that creamy sauce, then serve warm.

That’s it! A cozy, hearty crock pot dinner with very little work.

Tips

• Don’t thaw the noodles. Add the frozen Amish noodles directly to the crock pot.
• Add the vegetables at the end. The frozen mixed vegetables go in with the noodles after the chicken has cooked for 4½ hours. This keeps them from becoming overly soft.
• Chicken breasts or thighs? Either works! If using chicken breasts, keep an eye on them because they may become tender sooner than chicken thighs.
• Want shredded chicken? Shred the chicken before adding the noodles and vegetables. This makes it easy to get chicken in every bite.
• Can’t find Amish noodles? You can substitute another type of noodle or pasta. See the substitution information below.

Can I Use Fresh Vegetables?

Yes! You can substitute fresh vegetables if that’s what you have on hand.

Carrots, peas, corn, green beans, or broccoli would all work.

I use frozen mixed vegetables because they’re convenient and make this recipe even easier.

---

Can I Substitute the Sour Cream?

Yes. You can substitute plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream.

You can also leave the sour cream out completely, although I love the creaminess it adds to the sauce.

---

What If I Can’t Find Frozen Amish Noodles?

If you can’t find frozen Amish noodles, you can substitute another type of pasta.

For best results, cook the pasta separately according to the package directions and stir it into the finished chicken and sauce.

The frozen Amish noodles are my favorite, though, because they cook right in the crock pot and help make the sauce thick and creamy.

---

Can I Freeze Crock Pot Chicken and Noodles?

Yes! This recipe can be frozen.

Allow the chicken and noodles to cool completely, then transfer to an airtight freezer-safe container.

Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

The noodles may soften slightly after freezing and thawing, but the leftovers are still delicious.

For refrigerated leftovers, store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I put frozen chicken in the crock pot?

For this recipe, I recommend starting with fully thawed chicken so it cooks safely and evenly during the recommended cooking time.

Can I leave the chicken whole?

Yes! You don’t have to shred the chicken. If you prefer larger pieces of chicken, simply leave the chicken whole and serve it alongside the noodles.

Why use frozen Amish noodles?

Frozen Amish noodles are thick and hearty, giving this dish that old-fashioned homemade chicken-and-noodles texture. They also cook directly in the crock pot.

How long do chicken and noodles last in the refrigerator?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
