I am in a time crunch. I started this recipie today in my crock pot but
it says I need to cook the chicken for 8-10 hours then the noodles
another 45. I need to shave about three hours off this cook time. Can I
use the high setting on my crock pot? If so for how long and should I
add any water or anything? Thanks

I've found no problem in switching between High and Low Crock-Pot
settings at a rate of 1:2.
That is, any combination seems to yield the same results.... so, for
your 8-10 hour (low) cooking, you can do it on high for 4-5 hours or
low for 8-10 hours, or two hours high and 4 low, or 1 high and 6 low.
Just be sure to remember to flip the switch when it's time to.

I love you.

I've found that you can shortcut a crock pot by using 1 hour of "high"
for each 2 hours of "low"...
