How to Make Favorite Homemade Chicken And Noodles

  1. Place chicken breasts in a large Dutch oven or stew pot. Add 6 cups of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  2. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil until a firm dough forms. Add more flour if needed to achieve desired consistency.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness using a floured rolling pin.
  6. Sprinkle generously with flour, then tightly roll up the dough.
  7. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 1/4-inch thick noodles.
  8. Sprinkle the cut noodles with more flour to prevent sticking.
  9. Set aside while the chicken simmers.
  10. Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and shred or cut into bite-sized pieces.
  11. Add 4 cups of chicken broth to the pot.
  12. Bring the broth to a boil, then add the noodles. Stir well to prevent sticking.
  13. Add the shredded chicken to the pot, and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the noodles are tender.
  14. Serve hot, optionally over mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
