Grandma's Boiled Chicken image

This is the base recipe I use to make chicken and noodles, chicken and dumplings and chicken with rice soup. You can use the chicken for any recipe that calls for cooked chicken and freeze the broth in one cup servings for any recipe that calls for chicken broth.

Categories     Clear Soup

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (3 -4 lb) chicken, whole (Grandma said 1 fat hen)
1 large onion, chopped in large chunks
3 carrots, chopped into chunks
2 stalks celery, chopped into chunks
1 tablespoon peppercorn, whole
2 garlic cloves, diced
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Wash chicken well. Place all ingredients in large pot. Cover with water.
  • Cover and bring to boil over high heat. Set lid at angle so steam can escape from pot. Lower heat to gentle boil and cook for 1-1 1/2 hours. Add more water if needed.
  • When meat is falling off the bone, remove from heat. Remove chicken from broth and let cool. Once cool, remove skin and bones and discard. Chop or shred meat.
  • Strain broth and cool in fridge until fat hardens on top. Remove fat and discard. Freeze unused broth for future use.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken didn't turn out as tender as I would have liked. I think I might have overcooked it.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a hit with my family. The chicken is always moist and flavorful, and the sauce is perfect for dipping or pouring over rice.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious.
