The Easiest Crockpot Chicken Dinner Place a whole (3#) FROZEN Chicken in crockpot along with 1 C water OR Chicken broth, a sprinkling of sage and freshly ground black pepper. Cover and let cook all day on low. Just before serving time, add a drained can of mushrooms to crockpot. Cook ghoulash noodles on the stovetop as directed. Carefully remove chicken from crockpot (it will almost fall off the bone) to a deep serving dish or casserole. Drain noodles and add to crockpot with broth and stir to coat the noodles. Pour noodles and broth in casserole around the chicken. Sprinkle with parsely if desired. I usually serve sweet peas and cornbread with this wonderfully hearty meal.
