Ingredients

  • 2 medium boneless skinless chicken breast halves cut in chunks
  • 1 cup high-quality chicken stock or broth
  • 10.75 oz can cream of chicken soup (I use low-sodium)
  • 1/8 tsp thyme
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese cubed
  • 3 cups partially cooked egg noodles see NOTES
  • 1 cup defrosted frozen peas see NOTES
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms optional
  • 1 cup defrosted frozen sliced carrots see NOTES

Instructions

  • Place chicken, stock, soup and thyme in the slow cooker. Stir to blend the ingredients so the mixture is smooth.
  • Cover and cook on low 3 hours, high 2 hours (the chicken should be cooked at this point)
  • Add the cream, cream cheese and veggies and cook on low 2-3 hours, high 1-2 hours. Times are approximate since all cookers cook differently.
  • Add the noodles and cook for an additional 30-60 minutes on either setting.

Notes

Noodles should be cooked so there is a "bite" to them--al dente. They will finish cooking in the crock pot.
I thaw the peas & carrots on the counter. You could also microwave them for about 1 minute before adding to the crock pot.
