1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme

½ cup heavy cream or evaporated milk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

👩‍🍳 Full Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker

Place the chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker.

Add the diced onion, minced garlic, butter, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, thyme, parsley, and poultry seasoning.

Cover with the lid.

Step 2: Slow Cook the Chicken

Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Step 3: Shred the Chicken

Remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board.

Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir well.

Step 4: Add the Creamy Ingredients

Stir in the cream of chicken soup and heavy cream until fully combined.

Mix until the broth becomes smooth and creamy.

Step 5: Cook the Noodles

Add the Amish egg noodles directly to the slow cooker.

Stir gently to ensure the noodles are submerged in the liquid.

Cover and cook on HIGH for 30–45 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the noodles are tender and the sauce has thickened.

If the mixture becomes too thick, add a little extra chicken broth.

Step 6: Finish and Serve

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Serve hot and enjoy this comforting homemade meal.

💡 Tips for the Best Amish Chicken and Noodles

Chicken thighs provide extra richness and stay especially tender during slow cooking.
Frozen Amish egg noodles hold up better than regular thin noodles in the slow cooker.
Add sliced mushrooms or frozen peas during the last 30 minutes for extra vegetables.
For a thicker consistency, let the mixture sit uncovered for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, adding a splash of broth when reheating.
