Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the crockpot and season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chicken bouillon, ensuring the flavors penetrate the meat.
Add the Soup: Spread both cans of cream of chicken soup evenly over the chicken breasts to create a creamy layer that will cook down to a rich sauce.
Incorporate Butter and Broth: Scatter the pats of butter over the soup, then pour in the chicken broth to add moisture and depth to the dish.
Cook on High: Cover the crockpot and cook on the high setting for 3 to 4 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and infused with flavor.
Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is tender, use two forks to shred it directly within the crockpot, mixing it into the broth and soup base.
Add Egg Noodles: Add the egg noodles to the crockpot, making sure they are fully submerged in the liquid to cook evenly.
Cook Noodles: Cover again and cook for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and have absorbed the savory broth.
Finish and Serve: Stir in the dried parsley, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve warm for a comforting meal.

Notes

You can substitute egg noodles with other pasta varieties, but cooking time may vary.
For a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of chicken broth slightly.
Adding fresh parsley at the end can enhance flavor and color.
Leftovers keep well and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
Ensure noodles are fully submerged to cook evenly and prevent sticking.
