• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Directions

1. Layer Chicken and Broccoli: Place raw diced chicken evenly in a 5-6 quart slow cooker. Top with frozen broccoli florets without stirring.
2. Add Creamy Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together condensed cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until smooth. Pour evenly over chicken and broccoli. Do not stir.
3. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, or on HIGH for 2 1/2–3 hours, until chicken is cooked through and broccoli is tender.
4. Add Noodles: About 30–40 minutes before serving, stir gently to combine chicken and broccoli. Press uncooked egg noodles into the sauce, adding extra broth if needed to cover.
5. Finish Cooking: Cover and cook on HIGH for 25–35 minutes, stirring once halfway, until noodles are tender but not mushy.
6. Season & Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper. Let sit 5 minutes with lid off to thicken slightly. Serve warm.
