Equipment

  • large skillet
  • 6 quart crockpot
  • cutting board
  • 2 forks (to shred chicken)
  • measuring spoons & cups
  • cooking spray

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless thick chicken breasts
  • 1/4 tsp (each) black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika)
  • 2 TBS cooking oil
  • 1 (10.75 oz) can cream of celery soup
  • 1 (10.75 oz) can golden mushroom soup
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 oz package ranch dip mix
  • 4 oz packet brown gravy mix
  • 4 slices pepper jack cheese
  • 4 slices muenster cheese
  • 24 oz frozen Reames homestyle frozen egg noodles

Instructions

  • Season both sides of chicken breasts with black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Place seasoned chicken breast in skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Turn chicken over and sear an additional 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  • Spray a 6 quart crockpot with non-stick cooking spray. Place seared chicken breasts in prepared crockpot.
  • Using the same skillet add in both soups, chicken broth, ranch mix, and gravy mix. Whisk until combined. Pour mixture over chicken in crockpot.
    NOTE: burner does not need to be turned on for this step.
    NOTE: use some of the broth to clean out the cream of soup cans.
  • Place sliced cheese all over the top of the mixture in crockpot. Do not stir in.
    NOTE: you can use all pepper jack cheese for a spicier dish or use all muenster cheese for a milder dish.
  • Place lid on and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until chicken is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
  • Remove chicken and place onto a cutting board and shred using 2 forks.
    NOTE: another good tool is a meat chopper.
  • Add frozen noodles to crockpot and stir into gravy. Place shredded chicken back into crockpot and stir to combine.
  • Place lid on crockpot and cook on high for 30-45 minutes until noodles are cooked through.
    NOTE: you can use the search box to find my homemade gravy mix and homemade ranch mix if want to make your own. It would take 3 TBS of each mix to equal a packet from your store.
