"This slow cooker meal would be great for a hot summer day when you don't want to turn on the oven. Adapted from a recipe by Diana Smith at allrecipes.com http://bit.ly/nzt25u - she notes you can make it more like a soup by adding an additional quart of broth."

Serves:: 12

ingredients

2 carrots, sliced
2 onions, sliced
2 stalks celery, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 (4 lb) whole chickens
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground black pepper
¹⁄₂ cup dry white wine
¹⁄₄ teaspoon dried basil
2 eggs, beaten
¹⁄₄ cup water
1 pinch kosher salt
2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup all-purpose flour (or as needed)
2 quarts low sodium chicken broth

directions

Place the carrots, onions and celery in the bottom of a slow cooker. Place the whole chicken on top of the vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Pour in the white wine and sprinkle basil over the top. Cover and cook on Low setting for 8 to 10 hours.
In a medium bowl, stir together the eggs, water, salt, shortening and flour to form a stiff dough. Knead briefly in the bowl to incorporate as much flour as possible. Let the dough rest for a few minutes.
Roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thickness on a well-greased board. Use a pizza cutter or pie crust cutter to cut into strips about 1/2 inch wide and 3 inches long. Dust lightly with flour, and leave to dry for a few hours while the chicken cooks.
When the chicken is done, remove the meat and vegetables to a platter. Transfer the juices to a large pot and stir in 2 quarts of chicken broth. Bring to a boil and add the noodles. Cook for about 10 minutes, until tender. Meanwhile, remove the meat from the chicken and shred. Discard bones and skin. When the noodles are done, return the vegetables to the pot and add shredded chicken meat. Serve.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
