Notes
Chicken: If you have a little bit less chicken, this recipe is still delicious. You can add extra vegetables if desired.
Pasta: While this recipe originally had the noodles cook in the slow cooker, some brands did not work well. We strongly suggest cooking the pasta separately.
Option to Cook Egg Noodles in Slow Cooker: Add raw egg noodles before serving, stir, then cover and cook on LOW for 10-15 minutes, until pasta is tender.
