I love making everything from scratch, but today was not the day . I have no idea what to call it, but it fed 3 adults a toddler, and preteen with some leftovers!
editing to add in more exact instructions!
Ingredients :
2 frozen chicken breast (the ones I have were fairly large)
1 32oz container of 50% less sodium chicken broth.
1 packet of chicken gravy
1 family size can of cream of chicken soup
1/2 stick of butter.
1 24 oz pack of reams frozen noodles
1 10 oz bag of frozen mixed veggies
Roughly 1/2 tsp of pepper
1/2 tsp of onion powder.
And a sprinkle of dried parsley.
Add chicken, soup, broth, gravy and spices. Mix. Cooked on high for roughly 5hrs. I shredded the chicken in the crockpot with a fork, then added frozen noodles and veggies for another hour, or until noodles are done to your liking. Served hot with biscuits.
Variations:
- Swap frozen mixed veggies for fresh or other frozen vegetables.
- Use different types of frozen or fresh noodles, such as egg noodles or pasta.
- Add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
- Substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup for a different taste.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, sear the chicken breasts before adding them to the crockpot.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding salt if needed.
- If the stew is too thick, add more broth or milk to reach your desired consistency.
