Slow Cooker Chicken and Noodles

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

6 cups water

1 onion, chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

1 (12 ounce) package frozen egg noodles

Place chicken, water, onion and salt and pepper to taste into a slow cooker. Add celery if desired. Set temperature to low and cook for 6 to 8 hours.

When chicken is tender, remove from the slow cooker and tear or chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside in a small casserole dish to keep warm. Turn the slow cooker up to high heat and stir in the frozen egg noodles. Cook until noodles are tender then return the chicken pieces to the broth. Adjust seasonings to taste.
