Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

6 cups low-sodium chicken broth

2 cups water

3 medium carrots, sliced into thin rounds

3 stalks celery, chopped into small pieces

1 medium onion, diced finely

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 bay leaf

Salt and pepper to taste

3 cups egg noodles (or your choice of pasta)

2 cups fresh spinach (optional, for added nutrition)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Juice of 1 lemon (optional, for brightness)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Begin by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot in an even layer.

    Add Broth and Veggies: Carefully pour in the chicken broth and water, ensuring the chicken is covered. Then, add the sliced carrots, chopped celery, diced onion, and minced garlic evenly over the chicken in the crockpot.

      Seasoning: Sprinkle the dried thyme and rosemary over the vegetables, followed by the bay leaf. Finally, season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.

        Cook: Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender to the touch.

          Shred Chicken: Once the cooking time is up, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, then return the shredded meat back into the soup pot.

            Add Noodles: Stir in the egg noodles into the soup. If using a low setting, switch to high and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and cooked through.

              Incorporate Spinach: If you opted for spinach, add it to the pot and allow it to wilt for about 5 minutes, which will enhance the color and nutrition of the soup.

                Finish Off: For a refreshing touch, squeeze the juice of one lemon into the soup just before serving, to lift the flavors and add brightness.

                  Serve: Ladle the warm soup into bowls, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish, and enjoy this comforting, cozy autumn dish!
