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 meat easily pulls away from the bones, about 35 minutes. Turn the chicken over once during cooking so it cooks evenly. Cut the chicken into pieces to speed up the cooking process.

While the chicken is cooking, cut some of the potatoes into large chunks and the remaining potato into very small cubes.

When the chicken is cooked, remove it from the water. Remove the skin and place all the meat in a separate dish. Pull the meat into long shreds. Reserve the cooking water in a separate container. Discard the skin and bones.

Pour the chicken broth into the pot and add the potatoes, chicken, salt, and pepper. Pour in some of the reserved water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes, until the potatoes begin to soften. Add the remaining reserved 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 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.
