How to Make Amish Chicken Corn Noodle Supper
Step 1: Layer the Base
Place 1½ to 2 pounds of chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker. No need to cut it — it will shred easily later.
Step 2: Add the Corn
Pour in about 2 cups of frozen corn directly over the chicken.
Step 3: Add the Broth
Pour in 4 to 5 cups of chicken broth, enough to fully cover the chicken.
Step 4: Slow Cook
Cover and cook on:
-
Low for 6–7 hours, or
-
High for 3–4 hours
The chicken should be tender enough to shred with a fork.
Step 5: Shred and Add Noodles
Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the slow cooker. Add 8 ounces of egg noodles. Stir gently.
Cook on High for another 20–30 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the broth slightly thickens.
Texture & Flavor
By the time it’s ready, the broth will have reduced slightly and thickened from the starch in the noodles. The result isn’t a thin soup — it’s a hearty, spoon-coating supper that feels like it simmered on a farmhouse stove all afternoon.
The sweetness of the corn balances the savory chicken, while the noodles provide satisfying body.
Optional Add-Ins (If You Want to Keep It Traditional)
While the four-ingredient version is beautifully simple, you can add:
-
A tablespoon of butter for richness
-
A splash of heavy cream for a creamier finish
-
Chopped parsley for freshness
-
A pinch of black pepper
But honestly? It doesn’t need much.
Tips for the Best Results
-
Use chicken thighs if you prefer deeper flavor.
-
Don’t overcook the noodles — check them early.
-
If it becomes too thick, stir in a splash of hot broth or water.
-
For a thicker stew-like texture, let it sit uncovered for 10 minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
This supper pairs beautifully with:
-
Homemade biscuits
-
Crusty bread
-
A simple cucumber or lettuce salad
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, though the noodles will continue to absorb broth. Add a little liquid when reheating to restore the creamy consistency.
