• 1 large onion, quartered
• 1 bunch parsley, chopped
• salt and pepper, to taste
• other vegetables of your choice, including sliced or small potatoes, if you like
• rice or noodles (optional)

Directions:

Wash chicken, DON'T remove skin. Place in a large pot, and add the remaining ingredients to the pot. Fill pot with water almost to the top, but not quite to the top, so when boiling, it will not boil over.

Mix the ingredients in the pot. Bring to a boil and remove scum from pot. Reduce heat to low. Put lid on top of pot, leaving a little opening. Cook on low until the meat is almost coming off the bone. You can add noodles or rice if you like.
