Feel Better With Chicken Noodle Soup in the Crockpot

Chicken noodle soup has been a favorite in families for countless generations. If someone has ever made the homemade treat for you when you were not feeling well then you know just how comforting it can be.

There is evidence that as early as the 12th century healers "prescribed" chicken broth to their sick patients. The broth was poured over pieces of bread, which were known as "sops" evolving into the word we use now, "soup." And today, we finally have evidence that ingredients in chicken soup do indeed help to relieve symptoms of the common cold and similar ailments.

Amino acids in chicken that are released during the cooking process are rather similar to the chemicals in medication prescribed to patients with serious chest colds and bronchitis. Carrots, a vegetable usually found in chicken noodle soup, are an excellent source of vitamins that help to fight off infection. Onions, another primary ingredient of the soup, contain antioxidants as well as anti-inflammatory agents to help fight illness.

Recipe for Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup

What You Need


3 large sized carrots
2 stalks of celery
1 medium sized onion
3 pound broiler or fryer chicken
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
3 cups water
16 ounce package noodles, uncooked

How to Make It

Clean and peel the carrots and cut into slices or small chunks. Clean and cut the celery into small pieces. Peel and cut the onion into slices.

Add the carrots and celery to the bottom of a 5 quart crockpot and place the onion slices on top.

If you are using a whole chicken, clean and cut it into large pieces while removing excess fat and the skin. Put the chicken in the crockpot atop the vegetables and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and basil.

Add the 3 cups of water to the crockpot and cook covered on the high setting for one hour. Cook the soup on the low setting for an additional 6 to 8 hours, or until the chicken is done and the vegetables are tender. You can also cook your soup completely on the low setting for 8 to 10 hours.

After cooking time is complete, carefully remove the chicken from the crockpot and set aside.

Add the package of uncooked noodles to the chicken broth in the crockpot and cover and cook on the high setting for 15 minutes. Take care not to overcook the noodles as they will become too soft and mushy. You can also cook the noodles in a pot of boiling water on the stovetop before adding them to the crockpot.

As the noodles are cooking either in the crockpot or on the stove, remove the chicken from the bone and cut into pieces.

After the noodles are done cooking, put the pieces of chicken back into the crockpot and cover. Allow all of the ingredients to sit and warm in the crockpot before serving. If your soup needs more liquid, add some hot chicken broth made from bouillon cubes and allow to warm in the crockpot for 15 minutes before serving.




Finding the very best crockpot recipes involves looking for those with all of your favorite ingredients as well as a few new, interesting foods to try. Crockpot white chicken chili is a great alternative to the traditional tomato and beef chili dinner when you want something delicious but different.

Cooking Boneless Chicken Recipes in a Crockpot

Boneless chicken is economical, versatile, and very tasty. You can make all kinds of boneless chicken recipes including chicken parmesan, chicken cordon bleu, chicken soups and stews and much more. If you have a crockpot, there are plenty of crockpot boneless chicken recipes you can try as well. Boneless chicken cooks very nicely in a crockpot. It becomes really soft and tender and takes on the flavors of the other ingredients you are using in the recipe.

Crockpot Cooking Tips

If you are on a tight budget, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts in many recipes. One and a half thighs are about equal to a chicken breast, or two thighs if they are quite small.

Test your chicken after it has been cooking for six hours on low. Chicken can become mushy if you cook it in the crockpot for too long, so it is best to keep an eye on it towards the end of the cooking time.

An Easy Crockpot Recipe for Chicken Tacos

This is a great recipe if you like Mexican food. You can even double or triple the recipe if you have a big crockpot and this would be great if you are having a buffet or if you want to make Superbowl party recipes or feed a crowd. If you do not have taco seasoning, you can use cumin, chili powder, garlic, salt and pepper as an alternative seasoning.

The leftover chicken is versatile and you can use it in all kinds of other boneless chicken recipes. This recipe makes enough to feed ten people and if you want an easy recipe, which cooks itself, or if you are going to be out all day, this crockpot chicken recipe is perfect.

You will need:


6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups salsa
1 chopped green bell pepper
1 chopped onion
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 package flour tortillas, to serve

How to Make it:

Put the chicken breasts in the crockpot with the bell pepper and onion. Sprinkle the taco seasoning into the salsa, stir well to combine, and then pour this over the chicken and vegetables.

You can add a little water if you think the dish requires more liquid but remember the chicken and salsa produce more liquid as they cook. Cover the crockpot and cook the chicken mixture on high for about five hours or on low for about seven hours. When you can easily shred the chicken with a fork, it is done. Take the chicken breasts out of the crockpot to shred them, and then serve the chicken in the flour tortillas.

Remove the onion and bell pepper pieces with a slotted spoon and add these to the tacos. Garnish the tacos with any toppings you like. Good toppings include lettuce, grated cheese, sour cream, salsa, olives, guacamole, and tomatoes.




Boneless chicken goes with all different flavorings and sauces and you can use it in many dishes, including international chicken recipes. Perhaps you already have a favorite chicken dish like chicken Parmesan or chicken cordon bleu. You can find plenty of easy chicken recipes at our site including the very best crockpot chicken recipes for busy moms.

4 Unusual Chicken Crockpot Recipes - Combinations That Will Wow Your Friends and Family

Ah yes, there is nothing more satisfying than coming home from work to find a chicken crockpot recipe slowly cooking away. It fills the room with gorgeous smells and if you are anything like me you absolutely love and simply wouldn't be without your crockpot. The reason for this is simple, it can save you both money and time. You see as far as I am concerned the great thing about a crockpot is that you can throw in some meat and some vegetables and 4-8 hours later out comes a terrific tasting meal.

Chicken really lends itself to being cooked in a crockpot and the great thing is that it goes with so many different flavor combinations and ingredients. The other awesome thing about chicken is its versatility. This means that you can really get creative with it. So with this in mind here are some different things that you can do with the humble chicken and your crockpot, that you may or may not have heard of.

1. Try chicken and fruit combo's - Believe it or not, chicken works really well with fruit, particularly apricots, peaches and pineapple. If you can add a little spice into the mix to make it fruity and zingy at the same time, it will be a match made in heaven.

2. Chicken and Cola - Coke and chicken I hear you say, but actually Cola really does work with chicken! If you add some onions, peppers and ketchup, it makes an awesome sticky sauce that will not only keep the chicken succulent and moist, but will give the dish a lovely sweet sticky flavor

3. Fish and chicken - It is a well known fact.. chicken just loves fish. Try adding shrimp or salt fish with chili peppers, spices, rice, chicken and stock to make an Asian/Thai influenced steamed rice dish. Or alternatively try adding some clams and stock with your rice and chicken to make an awesome jambalaya

4. Chicken and Blue cheese - This is a great flavor combo. The saltiness of the blue cheese works really well against the moistness of the chicken. Try crumbling blue cheese into a sauce of white wine, mustard and cream (or crème fraiche if you're feeling really healthy) and watch as it slowly melts down to create a totally unctuous sauce that is simply divine.

Hopefully this has given you some useful hints and tips when it comes to flavor combo's as these are just four combinations that on the surface, seem a little strange, but in reality really do work. However, don't stop there! Instead it might be really fun to invent some of your own.

Of course if you are not the creative type then stick to the more established recipes such as chicken and gravy or chicken and herb dumplings. Or if you are really health conscious, then there are even some really good healthy chicken recipes out there. Above all have some fun with your slow cooking and be inventive. There are no end of seriously good chicken crockpot recipes available to you. So it is just a case of trying a few out and seeing which ones your family will adore.

Crockpot Chicken Soup With Black Bean and Chipotle Peppers

As we begin to hunker down for the impending cold weather, we are craving dishes that will warm us all the way down to our toes. Apparently, my family members are not the only ones with cold extremities. I have received four requests for crockpot recipes in the past week. Still flexing its muscles from its successful slow cooking of our Family Crockpot Applesauce, my crockpot was up for the challenge. The inspiration for this recipe came from Sunset Magazine's Crockery Cookbook; however, I took several liberties with the recipe, adding tomatoes and black beans, and increasing the seasoning. The result was a flavorful, nourishing soup that took no more than time than chopping a few vegetables and browning some chicken. Mission accomplished.

In a large crockpot, I combined onions, carrots, and chipotle peppers, along with oregano, garlic, and black beans. To add an extra layer of flavor, chicken thighs are browned in a skillet for 2 minutes per side before being nestled into the crockpot. The final step is to add chicken broth, water, and canned tomatoes. Simply turn on the crockpot and let it do its magic.

During the last half hour of cooking, rice is added to the mixture to round out the soup. The final step involves removing the removing the chicken meat from the bones, stirring it back into the soup, and tossing in a handful of chopped cilantro. Brighten up the soup with a squeeze of lime and you have a filling meal that requires minimal effort.

What You Need to Know About the Versatile Chicken

The chicken has been domesticated since at least 1400 BC, providing eggs and meat to the Chinese. The Polynesians introduced the bird to Chile in the 1300s, spreading the chicken to a completely new continent. Since then, the chicken has gone on to world domination as a food source. Easy to raise, they give us nutritious protein, and they are very versatile.

Almost every culture around the world has at least a few recipes for chicken. Mexico, France, Italy, and China... the list is endless. Chicken is low in cholesterol, mild, and relative cheap. The meat can be used in many different ways to create healthy, delicious meals.

What Kinds of Chicken is Available These Days?

At the grocery store, you will find whole chickens, fryers that are conveniently cut into pieces and packages of one part, like all thighs, all wings, or all breasts. Small tubs of gizzards or livers are also available if you prefer. You can buy chicken with or without the bones. With all these options at the store, it is easy to plan many meals around chicken.

Whole chickens are less expensive than a package of all breasts. The less processing the meat packers do, the more savings you get. If you do not feel comfortable or do not have time to cut up a chicken yourself, you can always opt for one that has been cut up or deboned for you.

What Can You Do With the Different Chicken Types?

Whole chickens can be roasted, and used for soup afterwards. Cut up chicken can be fried, fricasseed, baked, or stewed. Boneless chicken can be added to one-pot meals, chicken pot pie, soups, pasta, sautés, stir-fries and almost anything else you can imagine. Crockpot chicken recipes are very popular, and can be cooked while you are away.

Use chicken in Italian dishes like chicken linguine, French dishes like chicken and shallots, or Indian recipes like chicken tandoori. Asian recipes like peanut chicken, orange peel chicken and others add some zing to what may otherwise be an ordinary day. Make pollo relleno or chicken a la Tex Mex for a little spice. Each ethnic region also has many chicken soup varieties to try too.

Chicken also gives you the choice of white or dark meat. Each one has a different texture, and they each work well in different meals. Dark meat holds up better to long cooking times than white meat. It also really takes in the flavors of a marinade or sauce. White meat is better when you want to use it whole or put it on the grill.

So, all in all, we owe a lot to the chicken. It offers us meat that is low in fat and cholesterol. It is easily digested even by the weakest stomach. It can be added to almost any dish with tasty results. Chicken is more versatile than most other foods. When we are sick, chicken soup has even been proven to be beneficial. The simple chicken has elevated our food to an exalted place.



Chicken is a great choice for cooking in parchment. Sliced up it will cook quickly. For more ideas for boneless chicken, check out http://www.BonelessChickenRecipe.com.

Summer Crockpot White Chicken Chili

Crockpot cooking is such a salutary way to prepare meals. Between the created steam, the direct heat from the pot and the distance of the cooking time, the risk of bacteria is decreased. an additional one salutary point is that when ingredients are added directly to the crockpot rather than being precooked, limited or no butter or oil will be used. Also, if you are naturally adding ingredients rather than precooking anything, you are going to use very little, if any, oil or butter. Skillets need the use of fat to avoid meat and vegetables sticking, whereas the liquid added to crockpot recipes prevents sticking to the sides and bottom of the crockpot dish.

A slow cooker is exquisite for cooking meals when you will be gone for part or most of the day. The best foods are those that cook well when simmering at low temperatures for a long time, such as beans, roasts, and chicken. Less expensive and leaner cuts of meat are particularly good when prepared in a crockpot, because the slow cooking and moisture make them tender and minimize shrinking. Spaghetti sauce, soup, stew, and chili are examples of foods with high moisture contents that turn out perfectly when prepared in a crockpot. As with crockpot white chicken chili, small pieces are needed to be sure the food cooks all the way. Meat should always be defrosted before being put into the crockpot.

Chicken And Crockpot Chili

Do you often attend potluck suppers or buffets? Life is so much easier with a crockpot, a family kindly appliance for more than thirty years. Dips and sauces can be warmed and carried along, or make up some tasty cocktail-sized meatballs for a special treat. Take the crockpot with you to keep them warm, or carry them in the dish.

One of the nicest features of some of the newer crockpots is the Warm setting. When the meal is done, it automatically clicks over to keep things ready to eat. This is a astounding feature when everybody in the house has a dissimilar schedule and you want to keep the meal ready to serve.

Crockpot recipes are often more flavorful and tender than recipes cooked by other methods. A crockpot cooks a meal in its own juices, maximizing flavor. Dream development beef so tender that it falls apart at the touch of a fork. This is the effect of slow cooking in the crockpot and is particularly good when you want to make shredded beef for burritos, tostadas, or chimichangas. If you think you will be cooking quite a few roasts in your crockpot, get one that is oval shaped, exquisite for cooking a whole chicken or large cut of beef.

At times you will need to hold some foods back until the cooking is near an end, like zucchini, tomatoes, and mushrooms. They are so tender that they just need a short time to cook, so add them along with the spices about an hour before the rest of the meal will be cooked. That trick will help hold the shape of the vegetables and say the flavor of the spices, giving the right touch to a exquisite meal.

1 onion, chopped
2 cups chicken broth
¼ cup chili powder
1 tbsp hot New Mexico chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
20oz can pinto beans, drained

Directions:

In a plastic bag: mix the flour, cayenne, chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and salt and toss together. Add the chicken cubes and shake until evenly coated with the spice mixture.

Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large skillet and cook the chicken, turning as needed until chicken is lightly browned, set aside. Heat the remaining oil in the same skillet and sauté for 5 minutes. Put the chicken & onion mixture in a large saucepan with the chicken broth.

Add all remaining ingredients - except pinto beans - bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour (add water if needed). Add the beans, taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Tip: this is a hot temperature chili! Hard crust country bread, thick sliced, lightly sprinkled with oil and toasted or grilled is all you'll need with this spicy chicken chili.

Dry soup: many Mexican dishes feature bread or tortillas that are soaked in a sauce until the dish resembles more a casserole or a heavy stew than a soup. In Mexico, they refer to these dishes as dry soups.

Canned or fresh peppers: with the ever growing interest in Mexican cuisine across the USA, you will likely find be able to find fresh chilies to meet the needs for your cooking. However, if you must use canned, plan to use about half as much as you would of fresh because the peppers become more packed during the canning process.

When I make this for my family, I try using more goodness by using fresh peppers toasted to perfection. In addition, you will find it is easy to make pinto beans in the Crockpot while at work. This is a great way to insure you are not getting added sodium from canned beans. Also, I can choose the herbs and spices my family loves. You can, of course, find your own!

Fried chili chicken offers an exceptional recipe that is easy to make and tastes absolutely delicious. A favorite in my house, you will find that this can be a favorite in yours too.

Three Crockpot Chicken Recipes

My crockpot gets quite a bit of use. In the winter, it's fabulous to have a hot meal ready after we all get home in the evening. And in the summer, it's great to not have the oven going while the hot days. I'd like to share some of our beloved chicken crockpot recipes with you:

Chicken and Veggies in the Crockpot

Crockpot

4-6 pieces of chicken
16 ounces of frozen veggies
1 can cream of celery soup
8 ounces of shredded cheese

There are many combinations for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, use 3-4 of them. If you use thighs, use 4-6 of them. When I buy the frozen veggies, I look for the compound pack of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. You can also use artichoke hearts or asparagus. It absolutely depends on the flavors you want. If you prefer fresh veggies, chop up celery, carrots, onion, broccoli, cauliflower and even onions.

I'm not a mushroom fan, so I don't use cream of mushroom. Play nearby with the many cream soups. Try cream of celery or cream of broccoli or any other house favorite. When it comes to the cheese, I try to use a compound of cheddar and Monterey jack. I think this provides a fabulous taste. Other citizen absolutely like the taste of swiss cheese or Italian blend cheese.

Place the chicken in the crockpot. Mix together the remaining ingredients and pour over chicken. Cook on low five to six hours. For a great finish, place a bit more cheese on top ten minutes before serving. Our other beloved crockpot chicken method is chicken and stuffing:

1 box of stuffing mix
4 -6 pieces of chicken
2 cans cream of chicken soup

Follow the container directions on the stuffing mix to moisten. Instead of putting the stuffing into a casserole dish, spread it into your crockpot. Place the chicken on top of the stuffing. Now pour the soup on top. Depending on the size of your crockpot, one can of soup might be enough. If you do use two cans of soup, consider using one can cream of chicken soup and one can cream of broccoli soup.

Cook six to eight hours on low.

The last method I'd like to share with you is chicken and fruit. I call it chicken and fruit because you can use whatever fruits you like:

4-6 pieces of chicken
1 can of fruit
1 onion, quartered
Plain chicken broth (optional)

We have tried this with peaches, with apricots and with pineapple. Each method came out great. Place the chicken in the bottom of the crockpot. Put the onions nearby the chicken. Place the fruit on top along with the liquid from the fruit. If you do not have enough liquid from the fruit add in plain chicken broth until you have the correct amount of liquid. Cook on low six to eight hours. I hope your house enjoys these dishes as much as my house does.

Tips for Crockpot Poultry Recipes

How to Make the Best Chicken Crockpot Recipes

Thighs and drumsticks can cook for up to ten hours before they start to lose flavor or juiciness but white meat cooks much faster. If you are cooking breasts, the maximum cooking time should be six or seven hours depending on the recipe.

Overcooking this ingredient makes it dry and chewy and overcooking it will ruin your formula so pay specific concentration to cooking times and remember to adjust them if you are substituting chicken breasts in a formula calling for drumsticks or thighs. Poultry needs to be 170 degrees F in the town in order to be safely cooked.

Use an instant read thermometer to make sure the meat is done properly. You can also cut into one of the larger pieces of meat to check it is piping hot in the middle but, if you are cooking whole breasts or pieces, this will ruin the appearance of the complete dish, so the thermometer would be a great idea.

Recipe for Apricot Chicken

This is a very easy dish to make and you can serve it over hot cooked pasta, couscous, or rice. This formula makes enough to serve six people. Use French or Russian salad dressing. Honey mustard dressing is also nice but might be too sweet for some palates. Use thyme instead of the basil if you like. Also, jam is fine instead of the preserves; just use whichever you happen to have.

What you will need:

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup salad dressing 1 cup apricot preserves 6 icy skinless, boneless chicken breasts 1 teaspoon dried basil 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 1 package dry onion soup mix

How to make it:

Arrange the meat in a three or four quart crockpot. Concentrate the vinegar, dressing, preserves, basil, black pepper, and soup mix and pour this composition over the top. Cover the slow cooker and cook the composition on low for about seven hours or until the chicken is cooked through.

You can either serve it now or thicken it. To thicken it, mix two tablespoons of cornstarch with three tablespoons of chicken broth or water until smooth, then add this to the slow cooker and cook it on high for fifteen minutes.
