I love cooking for my family. Over the years I have acquired many recipes that my family and I love to enjoy. Most of them are in my head so when Chris and Shelly asked me to share some of my favorite recipes, this hearty one was tops on my list. I love to make it on a chilly day as it is so warm and comforting! I hope you try it. You may need to adjust the quantities a bit as this is from memory with a little of this and a little of that…

This recipe sounds yummy and it seems much simpler than the one I use now. I’m going to pin this for later. Thanks for sharing it.
This is a wonderful recipe. What makes it stand out from many other chicken recipes for me is the easy noodle/dumpling recipe that is part of it and makes the dish more comforting
Looks delicious! I’ve never made my own noodles before, but this looks really good. It may be worth the extra work.
Those noodles look decadent and easy! I never thought of making my own noodles but you have inspired me!
Thanks for the recipe yummy looks great.
Sounds like a great idea for a chilly weekend! I love the idea of “going all out” and making it with homemade noodles!
I’m a homemade kind of cook myself, but I’ve only made my own noodles a few times. This meal looks great, although I’d probably do it over two days, one for the chicken and vegetables and one for the noodles, because of the amount of work involved. Thanks for sharing.
This looks amazing. So warm, comforting, and filling. I love how easy the noodles sound, too. I’ve always been intimidated by doing my own but love the homemade taste. What a great recipe and perfect for these winter days. The wind here cuts you to the bone, and this would be a delicious meal to come home to.
nice recipe love to try this
Are these noodles or dumplings? I know they are noodles but it looks almost like dumplings. Either way it looks absolutely wonderful. You are right, that kind of food is filling and comforting on a cold day!
This sounds good. I’m afraid I’d just use some store bought noodles rather than making my own.
This looks great for one of those snowed in days. I love the hearty look of it and I love anything with chicken and chicken broth. Thanks for sharing this one and I love these old fashioned type recipes.
