Categories     Dinner

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.
