Yes, Bott Boi is the real name for this traditional Pennsylvania Dutch dish. Because it's actually dressed-up bow-tie pasta and chunky veggies, we call it a great meal, too!
What You'll Need
- 10 cup water
- 1 chicken (3 to 3 1/2 pounds), cut into 8 pieces
- 1 large onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 celery stalks, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 7 white potatoes, peeled and cut in half lengthwise
- 12 ounce bow tie pasta
What to Do
-
In an 8-quart soup pot over medium-high heat, combine water, chicken, onion, celery, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 50 minutes.
-
Remove chicken to a platter, then add potatoes to pot and cook 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, bone chicken, discarding bones and skin, and cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Add pasta to pot and cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until pasta is tender. Return chicken to pot and continue cooking until heated through. Serve in bowls.
Notes
-
This will thicken up as it sits, so you may want to add additional water when you re-heat any leftovers.
