Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken
- 24 ounces (680 grams) frozen egg noodles
- 4 cups (960 milliliters) chicken broth
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 10.75 ounces (305 grams) golden mushroom soup
- 10.75 ounces (305 grams) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 ounce (28 grams) ranch dip mix
- 1 ounce (28 grams) brown gravy mix packet
Cheese:
- 5 slices pepper jack cheese
Instructions
- Position whole chicken in a spacious slow cooker, ensuring it fits comfortably.
- Generously drape golden mushroom soup, cream of mushroom soup, ranch dip mix, and brown gravy mix across the chicken surface.
- Use chicken broth to rinse soup cans, creating a flavorful liquid, and pour entirely over the seasoned chicken.
- Strategically layer pepper jack cheese slices atop the liquid mixture.
- Slow cook at low temperature for 6-8 hours or high temperature for 3-4 hours, gently stirring midway through cooking process.
- Extract chicken carefully, deconstruct into tender shreds using two forks, then reintegrate into slow cooker liquid.
- Introduce frozen egg noodles, carefully folding them into the shredded chicken and sauce mixture.
- Continue cooking uncovered on high setting for 30-45 minutes, allowing noodles to absorb flavors and reach perfect tenderness.
Notes
- Cheese Flexibility: Swap pepper jack with cheddar or monterey jack for milder flavor profiles or dietary preferences.
- Protein Alternatives: Use turkey or rotisserie chicken instead of traditional chicken breasts for varied taste and convenience.
- Low-Sodium Adaptation: Select reduced-sodium soup and gravy mixes to control salt content and make the dish heart-healthier.
- Gluten-Free Conversion: Replace regular egg noodles with gluten-free pasta options and ensure soup mixes are gluten-free certified.
