My first recipe.
And it didn't really turn out very well. I mean, the flavor was good, and my husband will tell you that, but I attempted to make my own noodles, and apparently they don't cook quite the same way as the storebought kind. Meaning, I kind of didn't cook them enough. At all.
Ok, and it took me nearly two hours to complete a simple recipe. (Part of that was running to Fresh & Easy to get the ingredients that I thought we already had...)
Overall, I definitely want to try the recipe again. I'll just make sure I cook the noodles longer!
Egg Noodles
2 1/4 c Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
3 Eggs
Combine ingredients in mixer until clumpy. Then hand mix to form a large ball of dough (add flour if too sticky or water if too dry). After you have a ball of dough, attach it to the dough hook on the mixer and mix on level 2 for about 2 minutes.
(This is where my love for my mixer comes in - I put the dough in the mixer, walked away for 2 minutes, came back and it was magically done! I love this thing!)
Let dough sit for 20 minutes before rolling out, then cut into desired shape and let dry for at least another 20 minutes. Boil noodles until cooked thoroughly. (Takes a bit longer than you might expect, at least for me).
Chicken & Noodles
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup chicken broth (more or less, depending on thickness)
1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic
4 chicken breasts
Seasoning salt to taste (I used Laury's)
Onion salt to taste (not too much or else it is just too salty!)
Crushed black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon (ish) extra virgin olive oil
Sautee the garlic with the olive oil and add diced chicken breast. Cook thoroughly.
Add the cream of mushroom soup and cream of chicken soup, then the chicken broth until you get the desired consistency. Season with the seasoning salt, pepper, and onion salt, but again, not too much or else it will be really salty (and there is already plenty of sodium in the soups).
Add the egg noodles from above when it is all done and voila! Easy yummy food!
I think if I were to do it again though, I would add a little bit of sour cream, and maybe some fresh chopped green onions instead of onion salt, but I always try recipes as close to verbatim as possible before improvising.
