Slow Cooker Amish Chicken and Noodles

Step 4: Cook the Noodles

Add the wide egg noodles directly to the slow cooker. Stir gently to submerge the noodles in the broth. Cover and cook for 10–15 minutes on high, or until the noodles are tender.

Tip: Check the noodles occasionally—they cook quickly in the slow cooker and you don’t want them to turn mushy.

Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches

For a creamier consistency, stir in heavy cream and unsalted butter. The cream will give the broth a silky texture, while the butter adds richness and depth. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed.

Step 6: Serve and Garnish

Scoop generous portions of Amish Chicken and Noodles into bowls, making sure each serving gets plenty of chicken, vegetables, and noodles. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for color and freshness.

Serve hot with a slice of crusty bread or a simple green salad for a complete comfort meal.

Tips for the Perfect Amish Chicken and Noodles

1. Use homemade chicken broth if possible—it adds a deeper flavor.
2. Thicken the broth: For a slightly thicker sauce, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the slow cooker during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
3. Leftovers taste even better: The flavors meld overnight, making it perfect for next-day meals.
4. Freeze for convenience: Store in airtight containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Why This Recipe Works

This dish works beautifully because the slow cooker allows the chicken and vegetables to release their natural flavors slowly, creating a broth that is both rich and comforting. Wide egg noodles absorb this flavorful liquid, turning each bite into a satisfying experience reminiscent of homemade Amish cooking.
