Place the chicken in a large pot and add enough water to cover it. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook over high heat until the chicken comes off the bone easily, about 35 minutes. Turn the chicken once during cooking so it cooks evenly. Cutting the chicken into pieces can make it cook a bit faster.

While the chicken cooks, cut two of the potatoes into large chunks and the remaining potato into very small cubes.

When the chicken is done, remove it from the water. Pull off the skin and place all the chicken meat in a separate dish. Shred the meat into long pieces. Save the cooking water in a separate container. Discard the chicken skin and bones.

Pour the chicken broth into the pot and add the potatoes, chicken, salt, and pepper. Pour in 2 to 3 cups of the reserved water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes, until the potatoes start to soften. Add 3 more cups of the chicken water and the noodles. Season with salt-free seasoning blend, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until the noodles are tender and the small potato pieces have dissolved.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
