Crockpot Chicken and Noodles is a comforting one-pot slow cooker recipe that has minimal prep and uses simple pantry staples. Chicken breasts or thighs simmer in a flavorful broth with your preferred frozen vegetables, onion and garlic. Uncooked noodles and heavy cream are added towards the end for a complete meal. Unlike many other chicken and noodles versions, this recipe does not contain canned cream of soup! Instructions to make Instant Pot chicken and noodles are also included in this blog post.
