Buying advice
1) Cook chicken breasts at 149°F for 2 hours with herbs in the bag. 2) Simmer a broth from the bones, onion, carrot, celery, and herbs. 3) Cook noodles separately. 4) Slice the chicken and combine with broth, noodles, and vegetables. 5) Season with lemon, dill, and black pepper.
FAQ
What temperature for the chicken?
149°F (65°C) for 2 hours — juicy, never stringy.
Why not cook it all together?
The chicken stays tender while the broth builds flavor separately — best of both.
Can I freeze it?
Yes — freeze the broth and chicken separately for the best texture.
