This Midwestern Chicken and Egg Noodles recipe is pure comfort food, inspired by classic family dinners. The rich, savory broth and tender noodles make it a cozy match for our 2022 Pinot Noir, Gopher Hill whose bright red fruit balances the hearty flavors.

Ingredients:
  • 8 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter Sliced
  • 1 1/2 Cups White Onion Diced
  • 1 1/4 Cups Celery Diced
  • 1 cup Carrots Diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 3 cups Chicken Stock
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 whole Roasted Chicken Pulled, bones and skin removed
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Fresh Rosemary Stems removed and roughly chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme Leaves
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Fresh Sage Roughly Chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt To Taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper To Taste
  • 1 pound Egg Noodles

Receipe Directions:

Roast Chicken at 400 degrees for one hour and 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let it rest. When cool enough, pull the meat and set aside.

In a stockpot over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Using a large spoon to stir, sauté the vegetables until they become translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium and sprinkle the flour over the veggies and fat in the pot. Stir the flour into the vegetables to create a roux, then cook the mixture for 1 minute to remove the raw, floury taste. The roux should look pale yellow and leave a thick coating on the vegetables.

In a small bowl or large liquid measuring cup, combine the chicken stock and milk. Continuously stir the roux-coated vegetables while adding the chicken stock-milk mixture to the vegetables.

Once all of the liquid has been added, simmer the gravy until it thickens, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Fold in the chicken, peas and carrots, as well as the rosemary, thyme, and sage. Stir to completely coat the chicken and veg in the gravy. Taste the mixture and, if needed, adjust the seasoning with the salt and pepper. 

Serve over your favorite egg noodles.
