Amish Chicken & Noodles

Shredded chicken with thick hand-cut egg noodles in a rich, savory broth, served over mashed potatoes — carbs on carbs that somehow works perfectly.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken, or bone-in pieces
  • Homemade egg noodles (flour, eggs, salt)
  • Mashed potatoes, to serve

Method

  1. Simmer the chicken until tender, then shred, reserving the broth.
  2. Roll and cut homemade egg noodles into wide strips.
  3. Cook the noodles directly in the simmering broth until tender with some bite.
  4. Return shredded chicken to the pot, thicken slightly, and serve over mashed potatoes.

Homemade egg noodles taste worlds apart from anything dried and store-bought — worth the extra step.
