Ingredients You’ll Need:

2 large frozen chicken tenderloins
32 oz container of 50% less sodium chicken broth
1 packet of chicken gravy mix
1 family-size can of cream of chicken soup
1/2 stick of butter
24 oz pack of frozen reams noodles
10 oz bag of frozen mixed vegetables
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
Pinch of dried parsley

The Simple Steps to Stew Perfection:

Set Up Your Base: Start by placing the frozen chicken tenderloins directly into your slow cooker. No need to defrost – the slow cooker will work its magic.
Add in the Flavor: Pour in the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and sprinkle the chicken gravy mix over the chicken. Season with black pepper, onion powder, and a pinch of dried parsley. Mix everything until well combined, making sure the chicken is coated with the flavorful base.
Cook Low and Slow: Set the slow cooker to high and let it cook for about 5 hours. During this time, the chicken will tenderize and absorb the flavors of the broth and seasoning.
Shred the Chicken: After 5 hours, take two forks and shred the tender chicken right in the slow cooker. The meat should pull apart easily and integrate seamlessly into the stew.
Final Ingredients: Add the frozen noodles and mixed vegetables to the pot. Stir everything together to ensure the noodles and vegetables are submerged in the creamy broth.
Let It Finish: Continue cooking for another hour or until the noodles reach your desired texture. This last step brings all the elements together for a perfect consistency.
Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the stew into bowls and serve hot. For an added touch of comfort, pair it with warm biscuits or crusty bread.
