They would boil a whole chicken (bones, skin & all). Then they would remove the chicken from the water and remove it from the bones. Next they would boil the egg noodles in the chicken stock and add the boned chicken back to the pot. They may have added a little salt to the water for taste.
So ... let's see ... water, chicken, salt and egg noodle.
It was nothing fancy ... but really delicious.
Yesterday I decided I wanted to make a version of chicken & egg noodles. My way.
I put boneless, skinless chicken breast in the crock pot. I covered it with broccoli florets, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, salt & pepper. I let it cook for a few hours and then I added mushrooms and a brick of cream cheese about an hour before I served it.
After it was done I served it over egg noodles. The broccoli all but disappeared ... lol. I should have waited to put it in at the end. We'll have leftovers tonight and I will steam some broccoli to add to it for tonight's dinner. I also made corn bread pudding ... it was delicious!
It was tasty and Griffin devoured it.
But you know ... it wasn't the chicken & egg noodles of my childhood. It was a fancied up version that to me, didn't taste as good. I was expecting something different.
I learned a valuable lesson from this ... you just don't mess with tradition.
Next time I want chicken & egg noodles ... I'm making it my Daddy's way!
