MOM'S EASY CHICKEN & HOMEMADE NOODLES



Mom's Easy Chicken & Homemade Noodles image

I was browsing chicken & noodle recipes on Zaar, but there aren't many with homemade noodles & IMHO that's the best part. I am posting the current evolution of my mother's (my grandmother's) recipe before I start to forget it. The flour amounts are not specific because it's always different. I just add more as needed to keep the dough workable. Sometimes I use cans of herbed chicken broth or substitute seasoned salt for the regular salt. This is a recipe from memory & I am constantly making little changes to it, but it's always satisfying at the table. Comfort food at it's best. Simple, filling & especially good on a cold winter day. Don't let the length of instructions intimidate. This is very easy, I'm just very detailed. I hope you will give it a try.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2-4 cups flour
3 eggs
4 -5 tablespoons milk
salt & pepper
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup (or vary flavor by using cream of celery, onion, or mushroom soup in place of the chicken)
10 3/4 ounces water (optional, if needed)
4 -6 cups mashed potatoes (optional, for serving)

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.

THE BEST CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP



The Best Chicken Noodle Soup image

We chose to use chicken leg quarters rather than a whole chicken to make this well-loved soup. It shortens the cooking time without sacrificing any flavor, and the dark meat adds extra depth. Carrots, celery and onion are called for twice in the recipe-first they're simmered whole along with the chicken and aromatics to create a rich and flavorful broth. After straining them out, sliced vegetables are added to the soup to finish it. Nothing is as simple, comforting and satisfying.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 medium carrots, peeled
5 large stalks celery, trimmed
1 large yellow onion, peeled and halved
3 pounds chicken leg quarters (about 4 legs)
10 whole black peppercorns
2 sprigs rosemary
2 sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
4 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces wide egg noodles (about 4 cups)

Steps:

  • Add 3 of the carrots, 3 stalks of the celery, half the onion, the chicken, peppercorns, rosemary, thyme and bay leaf to a large stock pot. Separate the parsley leaves from the stems and reserve the leaves. Add the stems to the pot. Cover with 3 quarts water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the broth is golden and the chicken is cooked through, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Use tongs to remove the chicken from the pot and put in a large bowl to cool. Strain the stock through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or other container. Discard the solids. Wipe out the stockpot and pour the strained broth back into the pot.
  • Cut the remaining 2 carrots diagonally into 1/4-slices. Cut the remaining 2 celery stalks into 1/2-inch slices. Dice the remaining half of the onion. Add the cut vegetables to the stock and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While the vegetables are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the noodles until al dente, about 5 minutes, then drain and reserve.
  • When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and tear the meat into bite-size pieces. Discard the bones and skin. Add the meat back to the pot along with the cooked noodles. Chop the reserved parsley leaves and add to the pot. Season with 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons salt and some pepper and bring to a simmer to reheat.

FAVORITE HOMEMADE CHICKEN AND NOODLES



Favorite Homemade Chicken and Noodles image

Time 1h45m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
5 (14 1/2 ounce) cans fat free chicken broth
4 cups water
1 tablespoon salt
pepper (optional)
6 egg whites
1 egg yolk
3 cups flour
3 teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons milk or 6 tablespoons water
salt and pepper
1 -2 cup flour (set aside to use while rolling out the noodles)

Steps:

  • Put chicken breasts and water and salt and pepper in dutch oven/stew pot to boil.
  • (Continue to low boil until noodles are made).
  • Mix remaining ingredients (mixing by hand is the best way).
  • Add flour (if needed) until you get firm not hard ball.
  • Roll out on floured pastry sheet or where ever you roll out dough.
  • Keep flouring and flipping dough till you have the thickness you desire (I recommend 1/8-inch).
  • Flour flat dough then roll up.
  • Cut to thickness desired (I recommend 5/8-inch).
  • Before unrolling the strips, sprinkle flour on them, unroll them and add more flour mix them together, place noodles and all the flour in a bowl.
  • Let set.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot and cut into chunks or strips.
  • Add the canned broth to the water.
  • Bring to boil, add the noodles, remaining flour and the chicken to the pot stir well, bring to boil then simmer stirring often.
  • Done in about an hour.
  • Wonderful served over mashed potatoes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry. Cook it just until it is cooked through, or about 10-12 minutes per pound.
  • Use a good quality egg noodle: Egg noodles are the traditional noodle for chicken noodle soup, and they provide a great texture and flavor. If you can't find egg noodles, you can use another type of pasta, such as macaroni or penne.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Let the soup simmer: Simmering the soup for at least 30 minutes will help to develop the flavors and make the soup more flavorful.
  • Serve the soup hot: Chicken noodle soup is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Chicken noodle soup is a classic comfort food that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a simple dish to make, and it is a great way to use up leftover chicken. The tips above will help you make a delicious and flavorful chicken noodle soup that your family and friends will love.
