Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 12 oz egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons butter
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 cup frozen peas (optional)

Preparation Method

Begin by placing the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. This creates a tender base that will soak up all the flavors as it cooks.

Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the chicken is almost submerged, and then add the cream of chicken soup. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper to season the dish as it simmers.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Once the chicken is cooked, shred it directly in the slow cooker using two forks. The broth will absorb the shredded pieces, infusing the dish with even more flavor.

Next, stir in the egg noodles, butter, and heavy cream. These ingredients will thicken the dish and add a rich, velvety texture. Cover and cook on high for an additional 30–40 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and cooked to al dente.

If you’re using frozen peas, stir them in during the last 5 minutes of cooking. They’ll warm through quickly, adding a pop of color and subtle sweetness to the dish.

Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed. Then, serve warm and enjoy this hearty, comforting bowl of Amish-inspired goodness.

Tips and Conclusion

To elevate this dish, try topping each serving with freshly chopped parsley or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for a burst of freshness. Leftovers reheat beautifully, making this a great meal to prepare ahead of time. For a fun twist, serve the chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes for an extra layer of comfort!
