Are Old-Fashioned, Amish-Inspired Chicken & Noodles Going To Be On Your Table?

Ideally, you should start this out by cooking your chicken in a slow cooker on low for about eight hours. It makes the chicken so juicy and tender, the perfect compliment to the noodles. I will usually toss the chicken in the crock pot in the morning, and then when the day is ready for dinner, I will finish up the rest of the recipe. My family just loves this double starch dish, and the leftovers are just as good! Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at NeighborFood:

“I don’t even know if I can express to you how good these noodles are. They are completely infused with the flavor of the chicken. Savory, silky, and oh so comforting, you’ll want an extra large bowl.”

Hopefully you aren’t carb counting, because you’re going to want a great big helping of these yummy noodles.

 

Ingredients

1 4 lb. whole chicken
4-6 Tablespoons chicken base (the amount you use will depend on the brand and your tastes, feel free to use more or less according to your tastes)
12 ounces Amish style thin egg noodles
4 Tablespoons Land O’ Lakes butter (optional)

 

Instructions

Carefully pour the broth from the slow cooker through a strainer into a large pot. You need enough liquid in the pot to boil all of the noodles, so if needed, add a cup or two of water. Add the chicken to the pot, then bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Stir in four tablespoons of the chicken base, dissolve completely, then taste. If the broth doesn’t have a strong enough flavor, add an extra Tablespoon or two to taste.

Add the noodles and boil for 8-10 minutes or until noodles are soft. Stir in the butter, if desired, and allow it to melt. The noodles will be soupy, but they’ll keep slurping up the broth the longer they sit.

Plus, the broth makes a great “gravy” for your mashed potatoes. Feel free to strain extra broth off before serving if you wish. Serve noodles over mashed potatoes or as a side dish.
