OLD FASHIONED CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

Steps:

• Clean and wash chicken and place in a very large pot with onion, celery, carrots, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Cover with water and place the lid on top.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, and allow to boil for about 30 minutes. Then, turn the temperature to low and cook for 2 ½ - 3 hours or until the chicken is cooked and tender.
• Drain the chicken and vegetables from the pot, save the cooking liquid!
• Add the cooking liquid back to the pot along with 2 cups of store-bought stock. Cook the noodles as per the package instructions. Drain the noodles when done, reserving the cooking liquid.
• While the noodles are cooking, debone the chicken and cut it into small bite-size pieces.
• Add the drained noodles back to the pot. Stir in condensed soup and milk to the noodles.
• Stir in the chicken pieces and cooked vegetables. Add some of the reserved cooking liquid if the mixture is too dry. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve.

CREAMY CHICKEN AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat the butter and EVOO in a large, deep skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Lightly brown the mushrooms, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the thyme, leeks, carrots and celery, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, partially covered, until the vegetables soften, 10 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir 1 minute, and then pour in the wine, letting it absorb. Add the stock and bring to a bubble. Stir in the cream, season with a little nutmeg and let the sauce thicken a bit. Add the chicken and cook to heat through.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles to al dente. Stir the Dijon mustard into the creamy chicken, and then combine the sauce with the noodles and chopped herbs.

HEARTY CHICKEN AND NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium high heat, cook carrots with 1 ½ cup broth, 1 bay leaf, salt, pepper, and dried or fresh thyme until carrots are tender.
• Add into the pot the remaining chicken broth, celery, onion and garlic and let come to a boil.
• Next add the dry wide noodles to the pot and cook for 5 minutes uncovered.
• Then after 5 minutes stir in 1 cup of milk and the frozen peas.
• In a separate pan mix the remaining milk with the all purpose flour over medium heat and slowly whisk the milk and flour together to remove the lumps. Do this for about 3-4 minutes. This is going to be used to thicken the chicken and noodles.
• Add this milk and flour mixture to the pot with the noodles, vegetables and broth.
• Finally add the cooked shredded chicken and let the soup simmer until thickened.
• Remove from heat and serve hot topped with fresh chopped parsley (optional).

MOM'S EASY CHICKEN & HOMEMADE NOODLES

Steps:

• In large stock pot, combine chicken, salt & water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover & simmer til chicken is fully cooked.
• While chicken cooks, combine eggs & salt in mixing bowl (I use a stand mixer with dough hook attachment, but it can be mixed by hand with a fork) & beat eggs slightly. Gradually add flour & milk to eggs & continue mixing until the flour is incorporated & dough is no longer sticky to the touch. Slightly more or less flour may be necessary, depending on the size of your eggs.
• When dough is ready, form into a ball & turn out onto a well floured surface. Knead by hand a few times, adding more flour if it gets sticky again. Pat into a round & then roll out into a large rectangle about 12x15 or so & 1/4 inch thick. Be sure to flip dough often, keeping it well floured so it doesn't stick.
• Starting at a short end, use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 1/4 inch wide (or smaller)strips. (To do the cutting with a sharp knife: flour the top of your rectangle, roll up jelly roll style & slice into 1/8 inch spirals.) When all strips are cut, unroll if needed & toss them with enough flour to keep them from sticking together. Spread noodles out in a single layer on your rolling surface & leave to dry a bit while you are finishing the chicken.
• When chicken is cooked, remove to a cutting board, (discarding the water it was cooked in) & use two forks to shred it into bite-sized lengths.
• Add the chicken broth to the stock pot & bring broth & water to a boil.
• Add noodles & whatever flour is with them to the boiling pot.
• Add the shredded chicken & stir gently. Reduce heat to low to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes.
• Add the cream of chicken soup & stir well. If this makes the mixture too thick, add enough of the optional water to make your desired consistency. we like it a bit stew-like, but still thin enough to look like gravy on mashed potatoes.
• Simmer all for another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until noodles are tender. Timing really depends on how thick your noodles are cut. We like them a little on the thick side. Serve over mashed potatoes.

DAD'S CHICKEN AND NOODLES

Steps:

• In large pot simmer chicken, onion, and celery in chicken broth until chicken is done. Cut up chicken and add it back to broth. Bring to boil.
• Put eggs in a bowl and add flour until right consistency to roll out, do not add too much flour. Roll out dough to 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch thickness. Slice once lengthwise then cut into quarter inch strips shake them out with your fingers so they don’t clump then add to broth.
• Cook for 5-8 minutes or until desired doneness.

INCREDIBLY EASY CHICKEN AND NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large pot, mix all the ingredients except the noodles.
• Bring to a boil, then stir in the noodles.
• Simmer over low heat for 30 minutes or until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.
• This can also be done in a crock pot.
• I get the soup ingredients hot on the stove and then pour it into the crock pot along with the noodles.

DAD'S CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Cook one whole chicken. I use a blue roasting pan with lid, wash the chicken, place in pan, cover, into oven at 350° for an hour. Don't forget to flour the liver and cook it too, it's the best part. No need to add water or anything.
• When the chicken is done, set aside to cool.
• Cut up a pound of carrots and boil them for 10 minutes in a saucepan,
• then add six cut up stalks of celery to the boiling carrots and cook for 10 minutes longer.
• Drain the vegetables and rinse with cold water. Careful now, make sure the celery is a little crunchy.
• Start heating 8 cups of water in your large soup pot, when it boils add chicken bouillon in the proper amount and boil for a few minutes. Then set soup pot off heat.
• Add the cut up chicken meat that has been separated from the bones, and skin and other littly icky chicken parts.
• The chicken left over stuff then gets boiled for 10 minutes in a small saucepan with about 4 cups of water to leech out the true essence of chicken. That part isn't really necessary, but it tastes better when you do that step.
• The cooled carrots and celery are now added to the soup pot.
• Boil a 1 pound package of egg noodles, don't cook too long, al dente is the goal. Rinse in cold water and into the soup pot.
• By now the chicken parts are boiled, pour through a strainer and when the liquid cools some, the fat will rise to the top. Skim that off, and add that last 2 cups or so of liquid to the soup pot.
• That's about it. There's enough salt from the bouillon, I guess you could do herbs if you know about that, but I just let it cool a litle while and into the fridge. We microwave it to reheat, it's gone in 2 days. It feels healthy. Bon appetite.
