The 4 Ingredients You Need
(6-quart slow cooker)
1½–2 lbs (680–900g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 (15 oz) can cream-style corn
1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom)
8 oz (225g) wide egg noodles, uncooked
💡 Amish Wisdom:
Do NOT add water or broth—the chicken releases juices, and the corn/soup provide moisture.
Add noodles last—prevents mushiness.
Use full-fat soup—low-fat versions make gravy watery.
1. Layer the Base
Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Pour cream-style corn and cream of chicken soup over top.
Do not stir.
2. Cook Low & Slow
Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours (or HIGH for 3–4 hours).
Chicken should be fork-tender and reach 165°F (74°C).
3. Add Noodles & Finish
Gently stir in uncooked egg noodles.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 20–30 minutes, until noodles are tender.
Shred chicken lightly with forks (optional).
4. Serve Warm
Ladle into wide, shallow bowls to showcase the creamy corn gravy.
Optional: Top with black pepper or fresh parsley.
