My Mom’s Homemade Chicken and Egg Noodles

I’m sharing a very special recipe with you today. I told you about my mom’s recipe for Spaghetti and Meatballs a few weeks ago. Her homemade Chicken and Noodle recipe is the other meal that feels like home. It’s one of those that I don’t remember loving as much growing up, but when I’m having one of those days that I want my “mommy” it is the food that I want for comfort… You know, ladies, what kind of day I’m talking about? When you want to crawl in bed under your favorite blanket, give up your motherhood responsibilities for the day and have your mom take care of you? This meal is the be all and end all of comfort food.

This is not a soup recipe. It is a thick, hearty meal served best over homemade mashed potatoes. Budget friendly and incredibly easy, once you try this delicious meal, you’ll certainly have requests for it to be in your mealtime rotation time and time again.

My Mom's Homemade Chicken and Egg Noodles

My Mom's Chicken and Noodles as shared by my mom, Pat Wogan
Author Dine & Dish

Ingredients

  • 1 Whole Chicken
  • Dash of salt
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 1 48 oz box Swanson's Low Sodium Chicken Broth
  • For the noodles
  • Eggs
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • Flour

Instructions

  • Place the chicken in a large stock pot (I use my7 1/4 Le Creuset Dutch Oven). Add water until it is covering the entire chicken. Add a dash of salt, bay leaves and chicken broth. Boil over medium high heat until the chicken (when tested in the thigh) reaches a temperature of 180 degrees. Remove the bay leaves and the chicken from the broth. Allow the chicken to cool then debone adn remove the skin from the chicken and tear the meat into bite size pieces. (I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs when I made this recently, and they worked well. The broth wasn't as good as when I've used a whole chicken, but for those of you who don't like to deal with whole chickens (hand raised) chicken thighs were a fine substitute.
  • For the noodle this is where you can customize the recipe for how large or small of a group you are serving. For every 1/2 cup of flour you will need 1 egg. So, to serve my family of 6, I use 4 eggs and 2 cups of flour.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk your eggs. Add the salt and whisk again. Next, add the flour. Stir the mixture with a fork until flour is completely incorporated and the dough is stiff.
  • Flour a large bread board / cutting board heavily. Dump your dough mixture out onto the floured board. Knead additional flour into the dough. Unlike pie crust (you don't want to work pie crust too much) you want to continue to add flour to the dough until it is thick and smooth in texture. Just work with it and use your instincts.
  • Roll out the dough (again... make sure your board is well floured so your noodles won't stick) until very thin. Once your dough is rolled out, using a pizza cutter, slice your dough into thin vertical strips. Make a couple of slices horizontally until your noodles are a desired size (in the picture above, I had very long noodles... I probably should have cut them in thirds instead of just halved. I also could have rolled them out to be even thinner).
  • Return your pot of broth and water to a boil. Once boiling, add your noodles to the pot, one at a time, stirring so they don't stick together. Once all of your noodles are in the pot, reduce the heat, add your chicken pieces back to the pot and simmer for 30 minutes. Serve over mashed potatoes with the noodles, chicken and broth. Enjoy!

    Thank you so much for sharing this family recipe. I’ve been making a lot of homemade pasta lately and have had trouble going back to the dried variety.

    Lovely post!

    My mom made chicken and noodles just like this, and we always called them “fat noodles.” It’s a huge favorite in our family too.

    I am your “Mommy” and I learned this recipe from my Grandma. It has always been one of my favorites. We are planning to make this for about 200 people, and tonight had a test run, discovering you could feed ten people with four eggs and two cups of flour. Thanks for sharing the recipe and saying the nice things you said.

    Kristen, this looks SO good! My mom used to make something similar, but she never went to the trouble of homemade noodles. Your mama is one special lady! I just love heritage recipes. And girl, that photo of the noodles is perfection.

    There is nothing like a recipe your Mom made for you growing up to comfort you when you are older. It’s like a big ole hug.

    December 17, 2010 at 5:17 am

    Oh my goodness. Homemade noodles?! I used to LOVE Bob Evans restaurants because they had noodles like dumplings in their chicken noodle soup. Imagine my disappointment when I moved somewhere Bob Evans wasn’t. So now I have to resort to making my own – and I may just start here. These noodles look perfect – thick, and the star of the show!

  16. Katie @ Healthnut Foodie says

    great recipe! my son and i made the noodles tonight and it was a hit. i think i need to invest in a pasta press however because my noodles turned into dumplings…i’m going to blame my 4 year old;-)

  32. Alison Moore Smith says

    December 17, 2010 at 9:45 pm

    I cannot even tell you how good this looks.

  33. Barbara says

    December 18, 2010 at 7:13 am

    Wonderful! Thanks for showing us your mother’s recipe….my grandmother used to make homemade noodles…we loved them! They aren’t as difficult as one would think, either!

  34. Sarah says

    December 19, 2010 at 5:26 pm

    Wow, that looks so tasty! It reminds me a little of some chicken and dumplings my mum makes but much less labour intensive. Even though it’s the middle of summer over here I’m dying to try this!

  35. heather says

    December 19, 2010 at 6:32 pm

    yummy! This is exactly my mother in law’s recipe and she serves hers with mashed potatoes too! I thought that it was so weird but strangely awesome! my hubby’s fave!!

    I thought about this ALL day so I made it for dinner and it was SO GOOD! We didn’t have the potatoes but it was still amazing. Got the boyfriend seal of approval too!

    I was just working on my own homemade noodle post when I saw yours so I jumped over here to check it out. Mine look quite a bit different from yours but what is the same is serving them with mashed potatoes. Oh YES!!! My mom used to make some that kinda look like yours but she called them chicken pot pies. Weird name, don’t you think? Yours look way better than hers. (Good thing she doesn’t read blogs.)

    p.s. When you have time (ha!), you should check out my new header–thx for the referral.

  41. Randa says

    January 7, 2011 at 8:03 pm

    That’s pretty much how we make it too! No store bought broth, and lots of carrots, celery and onions. We serve ours over mashed potatoes too, and when I talk about it, everyone always freaks at the horror of so many carbs.

  42. Noodlefan says

    August 1, 2011 at 8:55 am

    I made this recipe and it was unbelievable. Couldn’t believe how good it was! Very easy to make and full of homemade chicken noodle goodness. I recommend skipping the mashed potatoes and serving with homemade dinner rolls. The noodles themselves are good enough for anyone..no need to water them down with potatoes.

  43. Sean says

    October 20, 2011 at 12:49 am

    Kristen,
    So glad u posted this. I used to have it as a kid and loved it.
    I was curious as to 1 Tsp per 1/2 cup of flour or 1 Tsp for 4 eggs and 2 cups flour?

    Called my grandma to get her noodle recipe. Well my luck she’s not home. Sooooo happy to have found this. My grandmother of course does it by eye, which over the phone would be quite difficult for me. This is perfect, def a comfort food for me. Perfect weather too!

  45. rusty says

    November 17, 2011 at 3:15 pm

    This is one of my all-time favorite dishes! My grandmother used to make this for me when I would visit, thanks for sharing it. Mallory, I had the same problem trying to get the recipe from her over the years. She had done it so often she could ‘see’ and ‘feel’ when the dough was good or not; getting a hard-fast recipe was always a challenge.

  46. Aadel says

    January 28, 2012 at 10:36 am

    I remember my mom making these homemade noodles for chicken, beef, and just about any other meat! With gravy over mashed potatoes was the best!

  47. Lin says

    April 21, 2012 at 1:55 pm

    This is a recipe our family makes. we call it potpie because when my great grandfather made it for his family they called it Pa’s pie. It is so good.

  48. Brian @ A Thought For Food says

    January 8, 2013 at 4:15 pm

    I don’t think I knew ou back in 2010, so I’m commenting now. 🙂 I want those noodles in my life. I need them! They’re so long and thick… ok, now this is getting naughty. I’ll go now.

  49. Debra Robertson says

    January 19, 2015 at 5:15 pm

    My mom used to make this all the time. It was so simple she never wrote it down. She passed recently and while I knew it was simple, I couldn’t remember how to make it and was very sad.

    What a n awesome surprise to find it here! Thank you so much for sharing it!

      January 19, 2015 at 6:34 pm

      I am so sorry to read about your mom, Debra, but it makes me so happy to fill that gap for you. Thanks for letting me know! I hope you enjoy it for many more generations to come!

New ink inspired by a quote in my friend @andiemmitchell amazing memoir “It Was Me All Along”. 

I tend to be an all or nothing person and look at long term and get overwhelmed instead of just taking things one day at a time. I’ve said her quote to myself multiple times a day for years. Now I’ll have a permanent reminder. 

The full quote: “Can you do it today? Can you make it through today without bingeing? Just today, and tomorrow we’ll reconsider?”

I need to go back and get a couple missed spots filled in but I love it. Thanks Rob at @irezumitattookc 🎉

Here’s a fun fact I heard on the radio several years ago…October 5th is the most popular day to be born (9 months prior is New Years Eve-ish). 🎉 

Happy birthday to all my many many birthday twins out there! It’s the big 4-8 for me…although this past year as a Covid long hauler I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in the past 1. But things are looking up! I’m excited for the next 365 days of my life. I’m blessed and so thankful to still be here, chugging along.

This picture is from last week when @kellykdoyle and I were visiting colleges in Colorado. If I have any followers with ties to @coloradostateuniversity or @cuboulder I’d love to chat!

I love being a parent of teens...but I miss the days of parenting kids who loved going to school, who didn't struggle with major anxiety, who loved their bodies, and were confident about how they looked. I miss pre-covid days where lunch wasn't distanced, kids had the opportunity to connect and socialize at school, where mask-wearing wasn't even a topic, let alone one that divides. 

The past 2 years have changed my kids. They have gained so many positive things, but they've also gained a new kind of anxiety that wasn't there before. And I hate it for them. They've seen first hand how long haul covid has changed our family. They've seen the selfishness of others in ways they haven't seen before. They've had to grow up faster, worry about things they shouldn't have to worry about, and learn the hard way how this world can really be. And it hurts my heart for them. 

I have a new senior, sophomore and 6th grader here at home. Missing my sophomore in college a ton. I hope the world is kind to them and they are kind to the world. I want nothing more than for them to be happy and to be surrounded by good people who love and accept them for who they are and who also push them to live a full, rich and happy life. I pray every day for them - and for your kids...and pray that we are all raising a generation of empathetic and kind changemakers.

I was a “houseplant lady” before the pandemic, but I think since the pandemic I get to add the word “crazy” to that title. So. Many. Plants. I’m not mad about it!

This weekend @kctinygreenhouse I picked up this beautiful Monstera Peru as well as a bag of Jeff’s Jungle Mix. You know when a new to you potting mix has you super excited, you’ve crossed the line into la la land 😂 Swipe to see how pretty it is!

Hi, friend! I Thought I’d just say “hey” and check in and add some pretty flowers to your feed.

We’re over here dragging ourselves across the school finish line...so close to done physically, but over done, mentally. Can you relate?

I’ll be launching 2 new group coaching  classes (for women and entrepreneurs) in a few weeks so be sure to follow @rockyourhappy if you are interested in being updated on those!

Jacob comes home from college this week and my parents are coming to visit for a couple of weeks as well. And it’s almost my favorite time of the year, summer!! 

How are things going with you? What’s going good and making you happy? Or what do you need a hand or listening ear with? Touch base! I’ve missed you!

Book Lovers Giveaway (read to the end)!!! ⬇️ ⬇️ 

Supporting my local independent bookstore @rainydaybooks looks a lot different than it used to these days. Temporarily gone are the days of lingering in store, browsing the shelves, walking out with an armful of books I didn’t expect to buy. The pandemic has made independent bookstores pivot in ways they’ve never had to before, but I’m so happy to say they are CRUSHING IT! And as we virtually celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on 4/24, I wanted to share a way you too can help keep Independent bookstores afloat now (and in the future).

You know I’m a huge fan of @librofm , the absolute best audiobook alternative that gives money back to the independent bookstore of your choice with your audiobook purchases. Well, to celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on 4/24, they are giving YOU a free audiobook! Here’s what you need to do…

Spend $15 or more at your bookstore between April 24th and 26th. Submit your receipt at libro.fm/ibd and Libro.fm will email you a link to your free audiobook by April 28th! Easy peasy, right?

Wait! There’s more! 🌟 I’d love to give one Dine & Dish follower the chance to win a 3 month @Librofm audiobook membership. To enter, simply tag your favorite independent bookstore here and tell me what you love the most about it! That’s it! Winner will be chosen at random on April 27th. Yay, books!

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!
.
My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢
.
I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

It took me 2 months to get this Crispy Chickpea Pantry Pasta recipe up on the blog. 🤦‍♀️But it’s there now! You can find the link in my Instagram profile.
.
Also, just noticed Instagram took away the like count on posts. I kind of like that...what do you think?

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

H is for...high!

It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
