PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH CHICKEN BOT BOI
When we were kids we lived in Lancaster Pennsylvania for awhile. My dad loved that area and he loved the Pennsylvania Dutch and how they lived. Most of all he loved their foods!

Steps:
- 1. Cook chicken in water with celery, carrot, 1 onion, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Simmer it with the lid on until done, for about an hour.This is the stews broth. Take the chicken out to cool.
- 2. Skim the fat off of the broth. Strain the broth and discard the celery, carrot, onion, and bay leaf. Taste broth for seasoning and add additional salt and pepper if needed. I also add garlic powder but thats a matter of taste.
- 3. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, take all the meat from the bones and cut it into bite sized pieces. Discard skin and bones. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a big pot. Add chicken. When the broth is boiling, layer the potpie squares into the broth, one by one. Alternate with layers of potato and onion and carrots. Push down each layer gently, so the liquid will cover it.
- 4. Turn down the heat so it will simmer. Cover the pot. Stir gently every so often, so the noodle squares will not stick together, for about 20 minutes.
- 5. Add parsley and saffron. Stir gently. The saffron will give the broth a gorgeous yellow color and an intensely unique and subtle flavor. Simmer for five more minutes. Make paste from flour and water. Add this to broth to thicken. Cook and stir gently another five minutes until a bit thicker.
