I call this ‘Amish Neighbor’s Comfort Bowl.’ My Amish neighbor shared this recipe with me, and I’ve made it three times just this week—my kids can’t get enough!

There’s nothing quite like the comforting aroma of a homemade meal simmering patiently away, especially when it’s Amish Chicken and Noodles. This recipe, a staple in many Midwestern homes, combines tender chicken, savory broth, and thick noodles that soak up all the goodness. It’s perfect for a cozy family dinner after a long day at work. This is a slow cooker recipe, which makes it even more manageable for those busy weekdays when time seems to be slipping away.

This dish is wonderfully satisfying on its own, but you can pair it with some buttery corn on the cob for a true Midwestern meal. A side salad with crisp greens and a light vinaigrette can balance out the richness of the chicken and noodles. And if you’re looking to cozy up even more, a slice of warm crusty bread to mop up the savory broth is always a hit at our table.
