FARMHOUSE CHICKEN AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Place the chicken breast-side up in a 6-8 quart Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot. Arrange the celery, carrot, onion, bay leaf and thyme around the chicken. Add cool water to just barely cover the chicken. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper.
• Cover the pot and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 1 - 1 ½ hours, or until the chicken is falling apart. Turn off the heat and let it rest in the broth for 30 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the broth and shred the meat into medium-size pieces. Discard the skin and bones.
• Strain the broth and return to the pot. Discard the vegetables and herbs.
• Return chicken to the pot with the broth. Bring to a simmer; add the noodles. Cook for about 6-8 minutes for wide egg noodles, or until the pasta is al dente (cooked, but still slightly firm). Turn off the heat; stir in lemon juice. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

• Add the egg noodles and shredded chicken to the pot, cover, and turn off the heat.
• Let the noodles set for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so.

• Add the cream of chicken and butter to the noodles and stir until the butter has melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
