Add a little more flour if sticky and knead until smooth and light. Roll out as thin as possible. Cut strips with knife and add to hot chicken broth in pot where chicken was cooked in. Lower heat and simmer about 10 minutes. Place chicken back in pot. May add a couple teaspoons of flour to thicken broth.
