→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch pieces
02 -
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
03 -
2 tablespoons minced garlic (approximately 6–8 cloves, finely chopped)
04 -
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
05 -
12 ounces wide egg noodles, uncooked
# Directions:
01 -
Place the slow cooker crock on a stable surface. Add the diced raw chicken in an even layer across the bottom of the slow cooker.
02 -
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until completely liquid but not browned. Stir in the minced garlic until evenly distributed.
03 -
Slowly pour the melted garlic butter evenly over the raw diced chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring all the chicken is coated.
04 -
Pour the chicken broth over the buttered chicken. Gently stir to ensure the chicken is submerged in the liquid while keeping the butter and garlic distributed.
05 -
Cover the slow cooker with the lid. Cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or on HIGH for 2–2.5 hours until the chicken is very tender. Stir gently once or twice during cooking if possible.
06 -
Remove the lid after the chicken is cooked and taste the broth. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper, adjusting to your preference.
07 -
Stir in the uncooked egg noodles, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the hot broth and chicken. Add an extra splash of broth or water if necessary.
08 -
Cover the slow cooker again and cook on HIGH for 20–30 minutes, stirring once halfway, until the noodles are tender but not mushy.
09 -
Gently stir the cooked noodles to combine with the chicken and butter, ensuring everything is evenly mixed. Serve hot directly from the slow cooker.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure the butter and garlic are evenly distributed during preparation to enhance flavor.
