Add the chicken pieces, chicken broth to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
Place the lid on and slow cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5 hours or until the chicken is cooked through the center to 165 °F. degrees.
Once the chicken is cooked remove the chicken from the slow cooker. Rest 5 minutes and then shred or cut into bit size cubes.
Return the chicken to the slow cooker. Add the kale or spinach leaves, the cooked egg noodles and the shredded Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.
Place the lid on and cook for 30 minutes to melt the cheese and warm the noodles.

Recipe Expert Tips
Cooking times will vary. How long you need to cook the chicken will depend on how large or thick the pieces of raw chicken are. Do not over cook or the chicken will be tough and dry.
What size pieces of chicken to use? I like to use whole white chicken pieces to prevent the chicken from drying out.
Cooked egg noodles: Add cooked noodles once the soup ingredients have finished cooking.
Add uncooked noodles one hour before the soup ingredients are done.
