Notes
*After stripping the meat, either freeze the carcass to make bone broth later or use it now to make the bone broth for this recipe.
**I used RP's gluten-free fusilli since I wanted to try it out but if you need a paleo option, my favorite pasta is Cappello's brand. Their fettuccine would be a perfect option, especially if you cut it into shorter strips first. Budget-friendly options would be to use a cheaper gluten-free noodle or substitute the noodles all together with rice, cauliflower rice, diced potatoes/sweet potatoes, forgo the noodles completely and enjoy a bowl of chicken soup, or try my recipe for chicken and dumplings instead.
