Wash the chicken and place it in a large pot. Cover with water and add the chopped vegetables, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the meat comes away easily from the bone. Remove the chicken from the broth and strain the liquid. Reserve the broth and discard all the vegetables.

When the chicken is cool, remove the meat from the bones and remove all the skin, keeping the chicken meat in reasonably large pieces.

To make the noodles (sliders), beat the egg with some of the cooled broth. Measure out the flour, then work the egg mixture into the flour, adding broth as required until the dough forms a ball. Knead the ball for a few minutes. Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Cut the dough into strips about 1 1/2 inches wide and 3 inches long. Do not worry if they are irregular in shape. Leave any excess flour on the noodles.

Bring the reserved broth to a rapid boil, add the noodles, and let them boil for about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat, add the cut-up chicken, and simmer until the broth is very thick, like gravy. Add a little flour to thicken if required. Add salt and pepper to taste.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
