- Swap frozen egg noodles for fresh pasta if you prefer a softer texture; just reduce cooking time accordingly.
- Add a handful of fresh spinach or peas during the last 30 minutes for extra color and nutrition.
- If you don’t have Kinders seasoning, substitute with your favorite poultry seasoning mix.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking. For best texture, avoid freezing as the noodles may become mushy upon thawing.

FAQs
Can I use fresh chicken instead of frozen?
Yes, fresh chicken works well. Just ensure it’s fully cooked in the crockpot before adding the noodles.
Can I make this recipe without a crockpot?
You can prepare this on the stovetop by simmering the soup mixture with chicken until cooked through, then adding noodles and cooking until tender, but be sure to monitor the heat closely to avoid burning or sticking.
