Chicken and Noodles
Posted in Chicken, Low Calorie, Main Course, Pasta, Poultry, Vegetables on March 3rd, 2010 by Eileen Devlin(Oh I have so many things to post. . .) I know everyone has their own version of this dish as it is comfort food at its finest. I loved the fact that with this recipe you made the noodles yourself, which was surprisingly, not difficult! Feel free to vary the recipe and let me know how it goes.
You’ll need:
1/2 c all purpose flour, plus more as needed
1/2 large beaten egg
2 tbsp fat free milk
3 c fat free low sodium chicken broth
1 c diced cooked chicken (about 6-8 oz)
1.5 c no salt added frozen mixed veggies (or choose your own fresh)
1/4 tsp dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/3 c water
3 tbsp flour
1. For the noodles, mix first 3 ingredients until you form a ball. Lightly flour a cutting board and kneed the dough for about 1-2 mins. Cover with a dry dish towel and let rest for 15 mins.
2. Roll the dough out to a 9 x6 in rectangle. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into strips about 3 in long and 1/2 wide. Cover with dish towel and set aside.
3. In a medium saucepan, stir together the broth, chicken, veggies, and seasonings (not water and flour). Cover and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add the noodles; cook for 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally.
4. In a small bowl, whisk the water and flour together and stir into the mixture. Cook for a few more minutes until it has thickened a bit. Serves 3 (1.5 c servings)
