Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups shredded cooked chicken (I used rotisserie chicken)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion (diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 cups diced carrots (about 3 large carrots)
2 ½ cups low sodium chicken stock (or chicken broth, divided)
1 bay leaf
1 fresh thyme sprig (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
1 teaspoon Kosher salt (or sea salt)
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup diced celery
1 pound dry wide egg noodles (or noodles of your choice)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups whole milk (divided)
1 cup peas (frozen)
fresh herbs (Parsley, thyme), Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot or dutch oven, sauté diced onion in olive oil over medium high heat until translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and carrots and continue sautéing for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
  • Add 1 ½ cups chicken stock or broth, bay leaf, salt, pepper and thyme and bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Cook until the carrots are tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the remaining chicken stock or broth and celery and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 5 minutes, uncovered.
  • While the noodles are cooking, prepare the roux. In a small skillet, melt butter then add flour and whisk to combine. Cook for one minute and then add 1 cup of milk and bring to a simmer and let simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
  • Stir the remaining one cup of milk, frozen peas, and prepared roux into the pot with the noodles. Stir to combine.
  • Add the shredded chicken and continue cooking over medium heat at a gentle simmer until thickened to your liking.
  • Serve hot with fresh herbs, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika or fresh ground black pepper.

MOM'S COMFORT CHICKEN



Mom's Comfort Chicken image

My mom made this for me each time she came out to help after the birth of my children. She did the cooking and made this wonderful, simple and super tasty dish! I still make this a lot on cool nights. Very comforting and can be done super quickly. My kids love it too if I don't spice it up too much. I like to add a few shakes of crushed red peppers to the dish. We usually serve this over rice but I bet serving it over egg noodles would be great too!

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chile flakes
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 cloves garlic, smashed
One 4- to 6-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, rosemary, chile flakes, nutmeg, salt, pepper and garlic. Place the chicken pieces in a resealable bag and pour the marinade in, coating all of the meat. Allow the chicken to marinate, refrigerated, 1 to 4 hours or up to overnight.
  • Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to come up to 375 degrees F.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place the chicken pieces skin-side up on the indirect-heat side of the grill and close the lid. Cook the chicken until almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Move the chicken pieces over to the direct heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chicken: Opt for organic, free-range chicken for the best flavor and texture.
  • Brine the chicken: Brining the chicken in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar helps to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Choose the right cooking method: You can bake, roast, or pan-fry the chicken, depending on your preference and the recipe you're following.
  • Season the chicken well: Use a variety of herbs and spices to season the chicken, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  • Let the chicken rest: After cooking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
