Homemade noodles with chicken is a cozy dish with deep roots in European cuisine. It carries the warmth of family traditions, where each housewife pours her soul into making the noodles by hand. Soft, elastic strips of dough absorb the aroma of rich chicken broth, creating a harmony of flavors. Its texture is remarkably tender, and the rich taste of chicken makes it perfect for warming family dinners. This is not just food but a true ritual—from kneading the dough to the last spoonful of broth. The simplicity of ingredients allows the natural flavor to shine through, while the absence of spices emphasizes the richness of chicken broth and homemade noodles. Such a dish is ideal for a cozy evening with loved ones.

First, we will prepare homemade noodles. For this, take one egg and break it into a wide, deep bowl. Add about half a cup of flour directly to the egg. Mix the flour and egg with a spoon at first. It results in a runny and very sticky dough. Gradually add flour in small portions as the dough thickens, you can start kneading it by hand.

Knead the dough thoroughly to make it uniform. When the noodle dough is ready, roll it out into a thin pancake. For this, sprinkle flour on the table and roll out the dough with a rolling pin. The thickness of the 'pancake' should be 1–1.5 mm. Now cut the pancake into noodles. First, cut it into wide strips. Then I cut each strip into thin noodles.

And spread the noodles in a thin layer on the tray. You can leave it to dry simply in the kitchen. I dry homemade noodles in the oven on ventilation mode without heating. At the same time, I keep the door slightly open. Usually, noodles made from one egg are enough to feed 4 people.

Cook homemade noodles in broth. Boil the noodles for 10-15 minutes. If you used only eggs in the noodle recipe without water, the noodles won't overcook. No spices are needed. You can add chicken meat to the noodles.
