This an old 'Grandma' recipe. I saw this old recipe in a random old 'newsletter' put out by a utility company years ago.
The recipe only has 5 ingredients and you can substitute a few things if you wish. I make my own chicken broth but if you are the sort who purchases broth, you could get low sodium to cut back if you wish. Egg noodles are perfect in this dish - I used rotini and tortellini. Lastly, I didn't want to use chicken breast, I wanted to 'up' the flavor even more by using my homemade chicken and spinach sausage so that is why my photos show chunks of spinach/chicken instead of pieces or shreds of regular chicken breasts. Play with the recipe if you must but don't mess with it too much. Adding more seasonings actually ruins it - the same as too many ruin a good homemade chicken soup.
Chicken & Noodles in the Crock Pot

everything but the noodles into a crockpot and cook on low about 6
hours or high about 2-3. Add the noodles and cook 1 more hour. Serve
