Directions

  1. Place whole chicken in large pot or Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 40 to 60 minutes, until tender. Remove chicken from pot, reserving broth. Skin and bone chicken, set meat aside.

  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (For slow cooker instructions, see Cook's Note.)

  3. Bring chicken broth to a boil. Stir in pasta and cook 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente. Remove pasta from pot and set aside.
