Takes 10 minutes or less to prep and you can go about your day while the slow cooker does the work for you. Here’s how to make it!

What You’ll Need

Equipment
Ingredients
  • Boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • Seasonings: Fine sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, rubbed sage, ground thyme, black pepper.
  • Cream of chicken soup
  • Chicken broth
  • Yellow onion
  • Celery
  • Frozen peas and carrots
  • Egg noodles
  • Light cream cheese: Highly recommend the Philadelphia brand! Melts down smooth every time and has the creamiest texture.
  • Non fat plain greek yogurt

How To Make It

  1. Cook the chicken and veggies: Add the chicken, seasonings, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, onion, celery, peas and carrots to the bottom of a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.
  2. Boil the noodles: During the last 10 minutes on the chicken, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook noodles according to package instructions (usually 5-6 min). Drain.
  3. Shred the chicken: Turn off the slow cooker. Fish out the chicken breasts, transfer to a bowl or plate and use two forks to shred (should shred very easily after slow cooking). Add back to the slow cooker.
  4. Add the rest: Add the cooked noodles, cream cheese, and yogurt, stirring until everything is smooth. Season with more salt and pepper to taste and serve with fresh parsley and/or parmesan if desired!

Tips

  • Cook the noodles separate: I’ve tested cooking the noodles directly in the slow cooker with more liquid, and the texture doesn’t turn out nearly as good as when I boil them separately. Takes an extra pot but well worth it, I promise.
  • Timing: Wait to boil the noodles until you’re ready to add them. If they sit too long after cooking they’ll stick together and won’t mix in well.
  • Chicken: Quality matters with the chicken you use. Cheaper chicken tends to become rubbery and tough when cooked in the slow cooker, as opposed to better quality chicken which basically falls apart after cooking and is easy to chew. Look for cage free, natural chicken breasts with no additives or antibiotics. It’s a couple extra dollars but makes a huge difference. I use these from Walmart.
  • Customize: You can easily add more veggies to this recipe – just toss in with the chicken and let em do their thing! Potatoes, mushrooms, green beans, or corn would all be delicious in this.
  • Low sodium: If you’re watching your sodium intake, sub low sodium of cream of chicken soup and low sodium chicken broth.

To Store

Once cooled, store leftover chicken pot pie pasta in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave with a splash of water or broth if needed to help loosen.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add chicken, seasonings, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, onion, celery, and frozen peas and carrots to the bottom of a slow cooker (I pour the chicken broth into the soup can and mix it around to help get all the soup out).
  • Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.
  • During the last 10 minutes of the chicken cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain well.
  • Turn the slow cooker off. Fish out the chicken breasts, transfer to a bowl, and use two forks to shred it up.
  • Add the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker, along with the noodles, cream cheese, and yogurt. Stir until smooth and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with fresh parsley and parmesan if desired and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cook the noodles right before adding. If they sit too long, they’ll stick together and won’t stir in well.
  • If you like firmer peas and carrots, add them during the last 30 minutes of slow cooking.

    Great high protein crockpot recipe! I omitted the cream cheese and Greek yogurt for my picky family and they still enjoyed it. I added some to my serving though and it was delicious! I used 2 chopped carrots instead of frozen and added frozen peas towards the end of cooking time. Will be making this again, thanks for the recipe!

    1. Hey Jess,
      I bet it would! The instant pot just needs enough liquid to steam, so I’d add an extra splash of chicken broth or water to it before cooking the chicken. I’d also recommend waiting to add the peas and carrots with the pasta!

    1. Hi Ruth,
      Thanks so much for trying this one and sharing. β™‘ Flavor can definitely be adjusted to your preference – I’d try adding a little extra salt, seasonings, herbs, or even a little chicken bouillon for an extra punch!

    Our third time making the recipe. So easy & delish! This time I added 1/4tsp poultry seasoning and it was perfect! I encourage others who say it’s too bland to add it also!
