Instructions

Prepare the chicken broth:

Place chicken in a large saucepan and cover with water. Add onions, carrots, celery, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Bring over medium high heat, removing each foam formed. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1-1.5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily removed. Remove chicken and drain the broth by rejecting vegetables. Adjust the broth aside.

Cook the pasta:

In a large container, bring salted water to boiling. Add the pasta and cook to the al dente, according to the packaging instructions. Place the pasta with olive oil or butter to prevent the adhesive.

Remove chicken:

Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut the meat into pieces of bite size, rejecting the skin and bones.

Assemble the dish:

Definition the chicken broth and adjust the spice if necessary. Serve the pasta in cups with chicken chicken.

 

Garnish and serve:

Sprinkle generously with grated Halloumi cheese and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately with a lemon wedge for additional tang if you want.

Tips:

You can add a touch of cinnamon to the broth for a traditional Cypriot twist. To enhance the taste, toast the pasta slightly in the olive oil before boiling. Residues can be stored in the refrigerator and re -establish with extra broth to maintain moisture.

Enjoy this rich and comforting Cypriot classic!
