Grandma's Chicken and Noodles is an awesome fall/winter meal. Grandma hasn't made this in awhile because she hasn't made the noodles so I had to ask Aunt Diane and Mom what exactly went in this recipe because of course like some of the best family recipes they live in someone's brain. This is a culmination of the three of us talking it out and this is what we came up with.
I was so excited to make this that I forgot to take my normal ingredients picture so you will just have to imagine them.
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken - brokendown into 4 pieces
1 medium onion - chopped
4-6 celery stalks - chopped
4 bay leaves
salt and pepper to taste
Grandma's homemade noodles
Water
place chopped onions, celery and seasonings in pot
add chicken
cover with water, bring to a boil and then reduce heat to med/low cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours
Remove chicken, let it cool a bit then remove skin and bones and shred chicken
time for noodles
Bring stock to a boil and add noodles
boil noodles for about 5 minutes or so the flour on the noodles should thicken up the stock. add more flour if you need to thicken it more
Grandma always served her chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes with a side of coleslaw.
Enjoy!
