Recipe For Easy Chicken And Noodles? (and Rolls!)

[KimG]

Hi all,

We love chicken and noodles.....my easy recipe is no longer that!!!! Before i cooked chicken breast, added several cream of soups to broth and added egg noodles. That was then and this is now. My daughter, Mollie, has been gluten free for two weeks and i'm just trying to get past the initial stage and get into cooking. I have checked out several recipe books for gluten-free diets, but not ready to get into making the dough myself.

Here's what i have......chicken, a package of asian rice noodles, and organic gluten-free chicken stock. Ideas???????

Also......any good yeast roll recipes to go with this dish??????

It's rainy and dark this morning in Indiana and this dish sounds good if only i can make it!

Thanks,

Kim

Well...I have a suggestion for your chicken and noodles...

People made cream of chicken long before campbells, and it's really easy to do

If you have a copy of Joy of Cooking kicking around your kitchen, there is a recipe for creamed chicken (which is what you use for chicken and noodles)... Just replace the flour with your favorite gluten-free flour combo (I use a blend of rice, potato, and corn starches), you can try Bob's Red Mill all purpose gluten-free mix as well.

I don't have the book in front of me, but here's what I got off the top of my head....

You basically make a roux, you melt butter in a pan over medium heat, and when it's melted, add about an equal amount of flour and cook for a minute or two, and then add 2-ish cups of chicken stock, and cook and stir until thickened like gravy...

Also, Tinkyada is the best gluten-free pasta...tastes just like wheat pasta

I make Bette Hagman's egg noodles for my chicken noodle soup. My kids actually beg for my soup, they never begged for food before except pancakes.

Boil a chicken, which makes the soup base and broth and debone (or boil boned chicken breasts but you won't get the really good extra flavor). Add veggies then the noodles you made while the chicken was boiling and it is done.

If you are just limited to avoiding gluten, then you can buy some broths, I can't because of soy issues but others should be able to give you some brands.

Where in Indiana? There are several of us on this board - it is cloudy and gloomy in Bloomington.

The cooking gets so much better.

Which book is that one in? I miss egg noodles!

Gluten Free Cooks Comfort Foods - page 93, I think - I haven't made them since it turned warm.

An old fav of mine is real simple, but I have not tried it since gluten free but plan to very soon, is this.

I boil chicken breasts maybe add some rosemary....

make homemade egg noodles...

once the chicken is done I shredd it and throw it back into the pan with the broth that I just made... add the noodles with a little extra of the flour to thicken it

then I make a pot of mashed potoates.. and corn.

I layer this.. potatoes (butter) corn then the thickened soup.... does a heart good (we like our noodles a little thicker than normal for this meal)
