Crockpot Chicken and Noodles

Crockpot Chicken and Noodles 1 24 ounce package – frozen or bagged or even homemade egg noodles 2 – 14.7 oz cans – cream of chicken soup – sometimes i use 1 can chicken and 1 can cream of celery 1 stick (1/2) cup butter – cut into pieces 1 – 32 oz chicken broth – may want extra to thin out, if too thick. the frozen noodles thicken the broth mixed vegetables – optional – i didn’t use this time Chicken buillon to taste – optional – i add about a teaspoon of better than buillion chicken flavored paste – for a richer chicken flavor 6 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts or 4 large salt & pepper to taste – can add some parsley too if desire Salt & pepper chicken breasts and place in the bottom of crock pot. Spoon soup over the chicken. Cut butter into several pats and place pieces evenly over soup. I whisk the bouillon with the broth and pour over soup. Place lid on pot and turn to low. Cook for 6 hours. Remove chicken and tear into pieces. Add back to pot. Now add noodles and if adding veggies add now. Cook for another 2 hours or until noodles are desired tenderness. I stir a few times during last 2 hours. ( You may want to add more broth to thin out at the end of cooking, as the home made noodles thicken the broth, which we like. ) Sprinkle with parsley and mix in, if using at the end of cooking. Salt & pepper if needed and Serve.
