Tomato Chicken Macaroni

Deep Run Roots

This recipe couldn't be simpler. It takes some time, yes, but it's not complicated and most of that time is hands-off. The magic is in the ingredients -- making your own chicken stock and using home canned tomatoes (like we did here: https://cookwithheather.com/Deep-Run-Roots-Tomatoes-in-Jars/) yields something just a little more special.

But even if you don't have your own home grown and canned (or jarred, as she says) tomatoes, you can still make this. Even if you don't have time to make your own chicken broth, you can still make this. Pull the meat off of a rotisserie chicken, simmer the bones and an onion in some store-bought chicken broth if you have the time and want to make it just a little bit better. Get the best canned tomatoes (diced or whole, you can cut them up yourself right in the jar with your trusty kitchen scissors) you can afford, and make this on a weeknight. It will still be delicious. Just watch the salt you add, since your ingredients will be a little saltier than if you made them yourself according to the recipe.

I couldn't find the original recipe online, but I did find someone who adapted it to make in a pressure cooker: https://easyunderpressure.wordpress.com/2017/01/05/instant-pot-recipe-conversion-tomato-chicken-macaroni-deep-run-roots/ Even faster!
