Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 8 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Place chicken breasts in a large pot and add chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the homemade noodles. In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Make a well in the center and add in the eggs, followed by milk.
Mix the egg and milk into the flour using a fork, gradually combining until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into thin strips about 1/4-inch wide and 3-4 inches long. Set aside.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Reduce the heat to a low simmer on the broth.
Add the butter, black pepper, and dried parsley to the chicken broth. Increase the heat to medium, then slowly add the noodles to the simmering pot, stirring gently to prevent sticking.
Cook the noodles in the broth for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and cooked through.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm in bowls, garnished with an extra pinch of parsley if desired. Enjoy your hearty homemade chicken and noodles!
