Chicken, Noodles, and Dressing

Boil a chicken with a bay leaf till done. De-bone and refrigerate chicken

Dressing
1/2 loaf of dried bread torn into pieces
1 box Jiffy cornbread mix - baked, crumbled and dried overnight
1/2 bag stuffing seasoned bread crumbs
Sage to taste - I use 2-3 tablespoons (my family loves sagey dressing)
1 onion, 3 stalks of celery - cook 2 minutes in tablespoon of butter in microwave to soften
Mix the above together - add salt and pepper to taste
Add 1/2 stick melted butter
Beat two eggs and add
Moisten all with enough chicken broth till "almost runny".
Bake 1 hour at 350. Sometimes I make the day before and reheat in a saucepan - I think "leftover" dressing is better.

Noodles
5 eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp baking powder
pinch of soda
enough flour to make a stiff dough (about 3 cups)
Mix together into a ball and then flatten with palm and roll out to about 1/4 inch thick. Roll up dough (with your hands) into a "jelly roll" and then slice 1/4 inch slices to make noodles. Unroll noodles and let dry on table overnight. Cook in enough chicken broth to just cover noodles. Bring chicken broth to a boil, add noodles (gently) and do not stir too much. Bring back to boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes or so till done and broth is reduced (may need to periodically add more broth - do not let simmer dry). Put boiled chicken in the noodles and heat through.
