Ingredients

  • For the Noodles:
  • 1 pound of chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 green pepper, sliced
  • 1 1/2 c. chicken stock
  • paprika
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 T. cornstarch, for gravy
  • Haluska noodles
  • I double this because we like a lot of noodles!
  • I would have these picked and ready to go and the water for boiling heating up prior to making the meat.
  • 1 1/2 c. flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 t. salt

Preparation

Step 1

I have always hesitated to cook it because it took so long – 2 hours! I have come up with some modifications in order to speed up the cooking time and have reduced it to about 30-40 minutes (depends on how fast you can make the noodles.) You could use egg noodles instead of the haluska noodles and save even more time. I do that when I’m really in a pinch, but it’s just not the same.

*I would have these picked and ready to go and the water for boiling heating up prior to making the meat.

Mix all ingredients for the noodles together until very stiff.

Try to make them somewhat uniform, otherwise they will be unevenly cooked.

Begin cooking the chicken by lightly coat a skillet with oil and heat over medium high.

Add chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook until done, about 5 minutes.

Add a splash of stock to deglaze the bottom of the pan – this step really adds flavor!

Bring a pot of water to boil for cooking the noodles.

Drop the picked noodles into boiling salted water.

Boil for about 8-10 minutes. Taste test, they shouldn’t still be dry in the center.

Combine chicken and vegetables in one skillet.

Stir in chicken stock.

In a cup, stir the cornstarch in with about 1/2 c. COLD water until no lumps remain. (Hot water= lumps.)

Add to the skillet and bring to a simmer.

: I can make this meal even quicker by making chicken gravy simmered with peppers and onions until they are soft and adding shredded leftover chicken and serving it over the haluska noodles.

This recipe sounds fantastic! My girls would love to help me make the noodles. Fun!

Looks really good, I bet those homemade noodles make the recipe!

Ohhh, this looks good, and I think my kids would like it too (major feat). I’ve been wanting to make homemade pasta for a while, and think this would be a good recipe to start with.
