| ~ Clean and wash the chicken well inside and out. ~ Place chicken in a large enough pot, cover with water and add the salt. ~ Let it boil, collect and throw away all the foam that will be created. ~ After you clean the chicken broth, add all your vegetables and let it cook for an hour or until is cooked. ~ Take chicken out of the pot and place in a serving dish with 1 lemon cut in quarters, or you squeeze the lemon over the chicken. ~ Another way if you like, butter your chicken, squeeze the lemon over it and broil in the oven until golden brown. ~ Strain your chicken broth, boil again and add your macaroni. ~ Cook to taste and serve hot. It can be served with or without the remaining broth. ~ If you prefer instead of macaroni you can use spaghetti, penne, orzo, or any other pasta you want. ~ The preparation of such a meal is very simple, yet very nourishing and tasty dish. ~ Good Luck and Bon Appétit. |
