Chicken Surprise

Bone in chicken breasts were on sale.  I raise most of my own meat, but I just cannot pass up a sale of this magnitude.  Four split chicken breasts $4.51 cents.  Don't pay three times the price for boneless, skinless; that's where the chicken stock is!  There is a video coming soon.  So I baked them bones, skins and all, sliced the meat off the bone, leaving just a the "trimmings" for later use.

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts served for Shabbat dinner for four, while broth and bones went to make another meal.

Drippings and bones in 1 quart of boiling water for 20 minutes.  Remove bones and separated meat to cool.  Add another quart of water, 4 stalks of celery, 1 diced onion, rubbed sage, and S & P, 2-3 carrots sliced, if there are any, handy.  Add anything that looks like "soup fixin's!"

While veggies are boiling and chicken is cooling, mix 3 eggs with 1 1/2 cups flour, salt and pepper.  Blend until mixed but dry and crumbly.  Drop in boiling stock in small pieces.  Stir . . . shred chicken from bones and add.

Enjoy a pot of chicken soup while the snow falls.
