Are there any tips that you can suggest?

Please, use real butter, not margarine. This will give it a creamy, buttery taste. You can use any boneless chicken, breasts or thighs.

Variations:

You could use a different form of pasta if you want versus what the recipe calls for. If you use bone-in Chicken, be sure to de-bone the chicken before serving it. You can use pre-cooked chicken if you want. You will need to adjust the cooking time.

Instructions

  • Salt and pepper chicken breasts.
  • Place at bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Spoon soup over chicken.
  • Cut the butter into several pieces and spread them evenly over the soup.
  • Whisk the broth with the stock.
  • Pour over the soup.
  • Place the lid on the slow cooker and put on low heat. Cook for 6 hours.
  • Remove the chicken and tear it into pieces.
  • Return to the crock.
  • Now add the noodles; if you add vegetables, add them now.
  • Cook for another 2 hours or until noodles is tender. Stir several times during the last 2 hours. (You may want to add some broth to thin out at the end of cooking, as homemade noodles thicken the broth, which we like. )
  • Sprinkle with parsley and mix if you use it at the end of cooking.
  • Season with salt and pepper, if necessary, and serve.
