Best Stewed Chicken And Garlic With Noodles Recipes

OLD FASHIONED CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

Steps:

• Clean and wash chicken and place in a very large pot with onion, celery, carrots, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Cover with water and place the lid on top.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, and allow to boil for about 30 minutes. Then, turn the temperature to low and cook for 2 ½ - 3 hours or until the chicken is cooked and tender.
• Drain the chicken and vegetables from the pot, save the cooking liquid!
• Add the cooking liquid back to the pot along with 2 cups of store-bought stock. Cook the noodles as per the package instructions. Drain the noodles when done, reserving the cooking liquid.
• While the noodles are cooking, debone the chicken and cut it into small bite-size pieces.
• Add the drained noodles back to the pot. Stir in condensed soup and milk to the noodles.
• Stir in the chicken pieces and cooked vegetables. Add some of the reserved cooking liquid if the mixture is too dry. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve.

CHICKEN AND GARLIC STEW

HEARTY CHICKEN AND NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium high heat, cook carrots with 1 ½ cup broth, 1 bay leaf, salt, pepper, and dried or fresh thyme until carrots are tender.
• Add into the pot the remaining chicken broth, celery, onion and garlic and let come to a boil.
• Next add the dry wide noodles to the pot and cook for 5 minutes uncovered.
• Then after 5 minutes stir in 1 cup of milk and the frozen peas.
• In a separate pan mix the remaining milk with the all purpose flour over medium heat and slowly whisk the milk and flour together to remove the lumps. Do this for about 3-4 minutes. This is going to be used to thicken the chicken and noodles.
• Add this milk and flour mixture to the pot with the noodles, vegetables and broth.
• Finally add the cooked shredded chicken and let the soup simmer until thickened.
• Remove from heat and serve hot topped with fresh chopped parsley (optional).

STEWED CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the chicken: Season chicken with salt, pepper, thyme and garlic. Heat two tablespoons of oil in large frying pan over moderately high heat. Brown chicken, turning pieces once, about 4 minutes per side. Add a few teaspoons of water to skillet. Repeat a few times and then add watered flour to make a gravy. As chicken browns, add onions, cover pan and simmer on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes so chicken will stew. (Typically back home in Belize onion was the only vegetable used with the chicken, however many Belizians that are now in the Unites States add bell pepper and tomatoes to this dish.)
• For the rice and beans: Clean beans and check for stones. Put beans in a stockpot with water to cover, thyme, onions, garlic and pepper. Do not add salt at this time because the beans will turn hard. Cover and cook over moderate heat for 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes and adding a little water if necessary. Cook until beans have softened. Add salt, coconut milk and uncooked rice. Cover and barely simmer over low heat (milk may easily burn) for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
