CHICKEN AND NOODLES

Source: unknown due to the mists of time

1 egg, slightly beaten 1 tbs. water salt (about 1-2 tsp.) flour

1 chicken, cut up water 1 onion, peeled and sliced 5 new potatoes, or 2 potatoes, cut in eighths salt pepper 1-2 cup fresh or frozen green peas

Make noodles or use 1 pkg. wide noodles: Mix egg, salt and water in bowl. Add flour until it forms a ball. Put on floured board and pat out in thin. Put flour on top and push in with fingers until no more will go in. Turn over and do the same. Keep pushing flour into the dough until it is very dry. Roll thin, about 1-16-inch and then roll up like a jelly roll. Cut noodles with a sharp knife about 1-4-inch wide. Unroll and let dry on a flat surface. In damp weather, put on cookie sheet in oven with pilot light on.

Place the chicken in stew pot with enough water to cover. Add onion and boil chicken about an hour, until chicken falls off bone. Remove chicken and bones. Remove all chicken from the bones and skin. Cut chicken meat into large pieces. Skim fat from liquid, add potatoes and boil for 15 minutes. Add chicken meat, salt and pepper to taste. Add peas and noodles. Boil until done.

Note: If using packaged noodles, give the noodles a little head start over the peas. you can also add a slurry of 1 tbs. flour and water to thicken liquid. Not needed if using hand made noodles.
