There\u2019s nothing quite like the comforting aroma of a homemade meal simmering patiently away, especially when it\u2019s Amish Chicken and Noodles. This recipe, a staple in many Midwestern homes, combines tender chicken, savory broth, and thick noodles that soak up all the goodness. It\u2019s perfect for a cozy family dinner after a long day at work. This is a slow cooker recipe, which makes it even more manageable for those busy weekdays when time seems to be slipping away.
\nThis dish is wonderfully satisfying on its own, but you can pair it with some buttery corn on the cob for a true Midwestern meal. A side salad with crisp greens and a light vinaigrette can balance out the richness of the chicken and noodles. And if you\u2019re looking to cozy up even more, a slice of warm crusty bread to mop up the savory broth is always a hit at our table.
\nSlow Cooker Amish Chicken and Noodles
\nServings: 6<\/p>\n
\nIngredients
\n1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
\n4 cups chicken broth
\n1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
\n1 teaspoon garlic powder
\n1 teaspoon onion powder
\nSalt and pepper to taste
\n12 oz of egg noodles
\n2 tablespoons butter
\n1\/2 cup heavy cream
\n1 cup frozen peas (optional)
\nDirections
\nPlace the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker.
\nPour in the chicken broth, ensuring the chicken is almost covered.
\nAdd the cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
\nCover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
\nShred the chicken using two forks, directly in the slow cooker.
\nStir in the egg noodles, butter, and heavy cream.
\nCover and cook on high for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked to al dente.
\nStir in the frozen peas, if using, and let them warm through for about 5 minutes.
\nAdjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed, then serve warm.
\nVariations & Tips
\nFeel free to add your favorite vegetables; carrots and celery work well for extra flavor and nutrition. For an even creamier texture, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. If you like a bit of herby flavor, throw in a teaspoon of dried thyme or parsley at step
\n2. Using homemade egg noodles brings another level of authenticity, but store-bought works just as deliciously if you\u2019re short on time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
