Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large whole chicken, gizzards removed (about 5 ½ - 6 lbs.)
1 celery rib, cut into 4 large chunks
1 large carrot, cut into 4 large chunks
1 onion, peeled and cut into 4 large chunks
1 bay leaf
2 sprigs fresh thyme
3 quarts cool water (or just enough to barely cover the chicken)
1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lb. uncooked egg noodles ((or other pasta of choice))
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Optional garnish: chopped fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme

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.

This was a Sunday favorite when I was growing up. Sometimes my mother dipped the chicken in seasoned flour after boiling and fried it.

Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
4 stalks celery, diced
celery tops
1 carrot, shredded
1 onion, halved - unpeeled
ground black pepper to taste
3 (32 fluid ounce) containers chicken broth
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a large pot over medium heat, combine chicken, celery and their tops, carrot, onion and its peel, and pepper. Pour broth over and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is tender and falls from the bone, about 45 minutes.
  • While chicken is cooking, make noodles. In a large bowl, combine eggs, water, oil, salt and enough of the flour to make a stiff dough.
  • Strain chicken stock, reserving meat, celery and carrots. Pull meat from bones and return strained stock and meat, celery and carrots to pot. Bring to a boil. Make noodles by cutting dough from a broth-dipped spoon or using scissors or your fingers to make small, chickpea sized, noodles and dropping them in the boiling water. When the noodles rise to the surface they are done.
