Simple Slow Cooker Recipe

This recipe is really simple to make. No need to pre-cook anything. Everything gets added to the slow cooker for easy clean-up.

How To Make

Just add the chicken, a packet of Ranch seasoning, a packet of Au Jus Gravy, some pepperoncini peppers and juice, and butter to a 6-quart crockpot. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours. The packets of Ranch seasoning and Au Jus add tons of flavor and saltiness to the chicken.

After 5 hours, you’ll shred the chicken and add 4 cups of chicken broth and the frozen noodles. Cover and cook on HIGH for one more hour. The starch from the noodles turns the cooking liquid into a slightly thickened gravy that is so, so tasty.

Crock Pot Mississippi Chicken and Noodles Recipe Tips

  • For this recipe, you’ll want to use Reames Frozen Noodles. They have a homemade, hearty texture that other noodles don’t have and they are much thicker.
  • I like to use chicken thighs because they stay so tender and moist in the crock pot. You can use chicken breasts instead and cook them for 1 less hour.
  • I use regular chicken broth because I like salty foods, but you may want to use low-sodium chicken broth if you don’t like a lot of salt. The Ranch seasoning and Au Jus Gravy already have a great deal of salt in them.
