I make my Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Pasta when I want something warm, filling, and simple. It is a comforting dish like traditional chicken noodle soup, but the noodles make it feel a little more complete. I usually start it earlier in the day and finish it right before dinner. It is a simple slow cooker meal that works well on busy nights.

I have now made this recipe FOUR times. I follow the instructions precisely. My (very picky) kids love it and always ask for seconds. Thank you for a perfect recipe!
Love these recipes!!!!!
Very yummy my family loved it but the chicken should be seasoned before adding to the crock pot
Could you start including the number of servings? It would be helpful
