Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cans Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Baby carrots
- 0.5 cup Frozen peas
- 8 ounces Egg noodles (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crock pot.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Pour the soup mixture over the chicken in the crock pot, ensuring the chicken is fully coated.
Add the baby carrots to the crock pot, spreading them evenly around the chicken.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours.
About 30 minutes before the cooking time is done, cube the cream cheese and stir it into the crock pot. Allow it to melt and combine with the sauce.
If desired, add the frozen peas during the last 30 minutes of cooking as well to warm them through.
Once the chicken is fully cooked and tender, shred it gently with two forks, or leave it in whole pieces if preferred.
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions if serving with the dish. Drain and set aside.
Serve the chicken and creamy sauce over a bed of cooked egg noodles or enjoy as is for a gluten-free option.
