Ingredients
  

For the Broth:

  • o 2 lbs bone-in chicken pieces
  • o 6-8 cups chicken broth
  • o 1 tablespoon marjoram
  • o 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
  • o 2 teaspoons black pepper

For the Pastry Strips:

  • o 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • o 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • o 1/2 cup cold butter cubed
  • o 1/3 cup ice water

Instructions
 

Prepare the Broth:

  • In a large pot, combine the chicken, chicken broth, marjoram, poultry seasoning, and black pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 1 hour or until the chicken is tender.
  • Remove the chicken, shred it, and set aside. Strain the broth, skim off excess fat, and return the liquid to the pot.

Make the Pastry Strips:

  • In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add ice water, mixing just until the dough comes together.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 1-inch wide strips or squares.

Combine Chicken and Pastry:

  • Bring the broth back to a gentle boil. Add the pastry strips one at a time, stirring gently to prevent sticking.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is cooked and tender.
  • Add the shredded chicken back to the pot and stir until warmed through.

Serve:

  • Ladle the chicken and pastry into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
