DealDash Cooks: Chicken With Egg Noodles

Slow cookers are usually associated with cold weather foods like stews and pot roast, but here’s a delicious meal that’s just perfect for any kind of weather.

I always hate putting away my slow cooker for the spring and summer seasons. Slow cookers make life so much easier by helping you make delicious home cooked meals without spending too much of your valuable time in the kitchen. I’m always on the lookout for recipes that allow me to use my slow cooker for a seasonally appropriate meal.

Below is a delicious recipe that has become a staple in my household in any season. Even the pickiest kid will eat it, and that’s saying something!

Ingredients:

• 8 oz. egg noodles
• 1 pound of chicken legs and thighs, skin removed
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 4 slice thick-cut bacon (about 6 ounces)
• 1/2 c. dry white wine
• 1/4 c. flour
• 1 tbsp. tomato paste
• salt & pepper (to taste)
• 3 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1 cup frozen pearl onions
• 3 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
• 2 stalks celery cut into 2-inch pieces

Directions:

1. Microwave the bacon between sheets of paper towels until cooked through, then cut into 2 inch pieces. If your family loves bacon then double the amount.
2. Using your slow cooker, combine the wine, flour, tomato paste, salt (to taste), and pepper (to taste). Then using a whisk add in the chicken broth. Next, add the celery, carrots, onions, garlic, and bacon. Whisk until combined.
3. Place the chicken in the slow cooker, meat (not bone) side down. Cook in the slow cooker approximately 3 to 4 hours on high or 5 to 6 hours on low.
4. Just before dinner, cook the bag of egg noodles in salted boiling water until al dente. Transfer 1/4 cup cooking water to a skillet. Stir in olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and salt and pepper (to taste).
5. Serve chicken and veggies on top of the egg noodles.

This meal should only take about 30 minutes to prep, and then it can cook while you are at work, running errands, or bidding on DealDash all day! This is a wonderful meal that can be paired with a Pinot Grigio wine if desired.
