Preparation

Step 1

When chicken is tender, remove from the slow cooker and shred or chop into bite-size pieces. Set aside in a small casserole dish to keep warm. Turn the slow cooker up to high heat and stir in the frozen egg noodles. Cook until noodles are tender then return the chicken to the broth. Adjust seasonings to taste.
