BUSY FAMILIES TIP: Boil the chicken ahead of time, perhaps the day before, then place in refrigerator and assemble the next day.
For this part of the recipe, all you will need is approximately 4 or 5 chicken thighs (with skin and bones) and water.
Possible additions if desired: 1 cup pasta or a few potatoes (peeled and cubed), or matzo balls, or thicken for stew and add peas...use your imagination and enjoy!
