Chicken and Noodles

I really hesitated on adding this recipe to the blog.  It's really very simple and seems like something everyone already makes.  Then I remembered that my blog is not just for my readers, but also a record of recipes I make frequently.  This is one of our favorites!  Today, it was cold and windy and quite frankly the perfect day for a dish like this one!!   Hope you enjoy!

 Place 4 bone-in chicken breasts in a large pot and add enough water to cover chicken.  Add 3 tsp. of chicken bouillon granules.  Bring to a boil over medium/high heat.  Cook for about 25-30 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 180 degrees in the thickest part of the breast.
 
 Transfer chicken to a plate and allow to rest for about 10 minutes.  See that pot of chicken broth on the back of the stove????- YOU WILL NEED THAT- DON'T THROW IT OUT!!  :)

 To cook the noodles, you will need one bag of Kluski noodles and 2 cans of chicken broth.

 Shred chicken from bone and set aside.

 Add 2 cans of chicken broth to the chicken broth you already have.  Bring to a boil and add noodles.

 Cook noodles for about 20-25 minutes or until most of the liquid is gone.  As my noodles were cooking, I scooped a ladle full of broth into a dish and added a 1/4 c. flour and whisked together then added it back in.  This thickens the broth a little.  To reheat the next day, you may need to add a little chicken broth.

Dinner is served!!!

Chicken and Noodles
4 bone-in chicken breasts
3 tsp. chicken bouillon granules
1 16oz. package kluski egg noodles
2 cans chicken broth

Place chicken breasts in a large pot and add enough water to just cover chicken.  Add chicken bouillon.  Bring to a boil and cook for about 25-30 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 180 degrees.  Remove from pot, reserving liquid.  Allow chicken to rest for about 10 minutes and then remove meat from bones and set aside.  Add canned chicken broth to liquid from cooking chicken.  Bring to a boil and add noodles.  Cook for about 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.  To make a thicker broth, remove a soup ladle of broth and whisk with 1/4 c. flour and return mixture to pot.

  2. This is just what I need to fight this cold! Do you deliver? Lol Question--Did you see my chicken and noodles post a couple weeks ago? I only ask b/c I roast my chicken instead, and wonder if you've ever tried it. It really adds a depth of flavor:) Thanks for sharing at Church Supper. Have a blessed week and Happy Thanksgiving!
