Ingredients

  • 1 whole (2 split) chicken breast bone in, skin on
  • Olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 quarts homemade Chicken Stock (see Ina's recipe or use your own homemade chicken stock), or use store-bought.
  • 1 cup (2 stalks) celery medium-diced
  • 1 cup (3 carrots) carrots medium-diced
  • 2 cups wide egg noodles
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉.
  • Bring the chicken stock to a simmer in a large pot and add the celery, carrots, and noodles. Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, until the noodles are cooked.
  • While the stock is heating up and simmering, place the chicken breast on a sheet pan and rub the skin with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until cooked through. When cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones, discard the skin, and shred or dice the chicken meat.
  • Add the cooked chicken meat and parsley and heat through.
  • Season to taste and serve.

Notes

Bryan's Notes:
The original recipe said a Prep time of 30 min, a cook time of 4 hr 50 min,  and inactive time 8 hr, for a Total time of 13 hr 20 min. I can only conclude that this included the time taken to cook the chicken stock. In reality, one typically makes the stock ahead of time. Also, some of the steps can be done concurrently (which she implies in her video). So I recalculated the times to be more realistic - and a lot less intimidating!
