❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Slow Cooker Chicken Noodles

1. Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?

Yes you can use frozen chicken thighs or breasts. Just add them directly to the slow cooker without thawing. You may need to add 30 minutes to the initial cooking time to make sure the chicken is fully cooked.

2. What type of noodles work best?

Egg noodles are the best choice for this recipe. They hold up well in the slow cooker and have a nice texture. You can also use wide rice noodles or even spaghetti broken into pieces.

3. Can I add other vegetables?

Absolutely. You can add peas, corn, green beans, or mushrooms. Just add them at the beginning with the other vegetables. If using frozen peas or corn, add them in the last 30 minutes with the noodles.

4. How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The noodles will absorb some broth, so you may want to add a splash of chicken broth when reheating.

5. Can I make this dairy free?

Yes this recipe is naturally dairy free. Just make sure to use a dairy free broth and check that your noodles do not contain any dairy ingredients.
