Dutch Chicken pot pie

5 pounds chicken or chicken parts
water to cover chicken
1 teaspoon parsley
1 bayleaf
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
salt to taste
1/2  teaspoon pepper
2 ribs celery -- chopped
2 carrots -- sliced
1 onion  -- diced
2 diced potatoes
2 cups flour
1/2  teaspoon salt
4 whole eggs
4 tablespoons hot water -- up to 6

1.  Place chicken in kettle. Cover with water, salt to taste. Add parsley,
bayleaf, poultry seasoning, pepper, celery, carrots, potatoes and onions.
Simmer until chicken is tender. 2. Remove chicken from bones; skin and cut
chicken into bite-size pieces. 3. Sift the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt
together onto a board. 4. Make a well in the center and put eggs into it.
Gradually work the eggs into the flour until a stiff dough is formed, adding
the hot water as necessary. 5. Knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cut dough
in half and roll each half until paper thin. Cut dough into 1-inch noodles. 6.
Add chicken to simmering broth and add noodles a few at a time. Continue
boiling until noodles are done, about 5 minutes.
NOTE: You can also begin this recipe with some homemade broth or bouillion and throw in some deboned chicken breast or whatever kind of deboned chicken parts you like. I always make it with homemade broth. Serve with crusty bread and salad.
