Grandma Myrtle's Chicken and Noodles

Submitted by Chef #603513

"Everyone in my mom's family makes this for gatherings--definitely a family favorite. It's quite good when served on a heap of fresh mashed potatoes and is often even better the day after it was made."

This sounds just like my Grandma Bertha's chicken and noodles. I have not had them since I was a kid and mom used to make them. I remember sneaking a few noodles while they were drying. Way, way better than any store bought noodle you will ever find!
