Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Add milk slowly and mix to form dough. Knead gently until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes before rolling.
Roll and Cut Pastry
- Roll the dough on a flat surface. Make it thin like sheets. Cut into long strips or squares. Keep them aside and lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking.
Heat the Broth
- In a large pot, pour chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add butter, black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Stir well to mix all flavors.
Add Chicken
- Add shredded chicken into the boiling broth. Stir gently. Let it cook for a few minutes so the chicken absorbs the flavor from the broth.
Cook the Pastry
- Add pastry strips slowly into the pot. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Reduce heat to medium. Cook for 15–20 minutes until pastry becomes soft and tender.
Adjust and Serve
- Check seasoning and add salt if needed. Let the dish thicken slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting homemade meal.
Notes
- Use homemade broth for better flavor.
- Do not overwork the dough.
- Cut pastry evenly for even cooking.
- Stir gently to avoid breaking pastry.
- Add cream for a richer taste.
- Let it simmer for deeper flavor.
