Chicken with Homemade Sliders (French Canadian Style)
  1. 1

    Rinse 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 lower 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. Save the broth and discard all the vegetables.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    To make the noodles (sliders): Beat the egg with some of the cooled broth, measure the flour, and work the egg mixture into the flour, adding broth as needed until the dough forms a ball.

  4. 4

    Knead the ball for a few minutes.

  5. 5

    Roll out the dough on a floured surface.

  6. 6

    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 extra flour on the noodles.

  7. 7

    Bring the reserved broth to a rapid boil, add the noodles, and boil for about 5 minutes.

  8. 8

    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 needed). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
