Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 3 cups Chicken broth
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 12 ounces Wide egg noodles
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.
Add the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chicken broth, cream cheese, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken breasts are fully cooked and tender.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the crock pot and shred it using two forks.
Stir all the liquid and softened cream cheese in the crock pot until it forms a smooth, creamy sauce.
Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and mix to coat it in the sauce. Cover and keep warm on the LOW or KEEP WARM setting.
In a separate pot, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Add the cooked egg noodles to the crock pot and toss to combine, ensuring the noodles are well coated in the sauce.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the chicken and noodles, then cover and cook on LOW for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy your Crock Pot Chipotle Chicken and Noodles!
