As you know, I really, really love Slow Cooker Recipes! This Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken and Noodles Recipe is exactly the kind of slow cooker recipe that made me fall in love with a Slow Cooker in the first place. A hearty chicken and noodles dinner that I can throw in the slow cooker in the morning and just leave it be? This Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken and Noodles Recipe is absolutely perfect for the chilly fall weather, and even more perfect as the rest of the country dips into real winter weather.

I used to make a chicken and egg noodle recipe that my mom taught me when I was really young – it was a staple in my house, and my ex husband really loved it! I would load it up with mushrooms, of course Angeline hated it. Ha ha! What is it about kids and mushrooms? They really hate them as a general rule, don’t they? Well, this recipe reminds me of that old recipe I used to stand over the stove taking an hour to cook. I’d sit down to dinner all sweaty and smelling like chicken and pasta water. That’s the great thing about slow cooker recipes, there’s no slaving away over a hot stove, no mixing, stirring, etc. Just throw it all in and go about your business!

This Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken and Noodles Recipe is a bit thick and hearty, which I absolutely love! If you don’t like your casserole style meals this thick, you can certainly thin it with an additional 1 cup of chicken broth or 1 cup of milk or half and half. Also just a side note, I didn’t have a white onion so I used a red one in its place! And it was frozen, and it worked just fine in this slow cooker recipe. You can swap my red onion for a yellow or white, each will lend a similar result and it’s all about personal preference!
