Recipe

Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs 30 mins

Ready Time: 3 hrs


• wash chicken and place in large pot. cover with water and add chopped vegetables, bay leaves, salt and pepper. bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 2 hours or until meat comes away easily from the bone. remove chicken from broth and strain liquid. reserve the broth and discard all vegetables.
• when chicken is cool remove meat from the bones and all skin, keeping the chicken meat in reasonably large pieces.
• to make the noodles(sliders): beat the egg with some of the cooled broth, measure out the flour, work the egg mixture into the flour adding broth as required until the dough forms a ball. knead the ball for a few minutes. roll out the dough on a floured surface. cut the dough into strips about 1 1/2 inches wide and 3 inches long. don't worry if they are irregular in shape. leave any excess flour on the noodles.
• bring the reserved broth to a rapid boil, add the noodles and let them boil for about 5 minutes. reduce heat, add cut up chicken and simmer until the broth is very thick like gravy (add a little flour to thicken if required). add salt and pepper to taste.
