Cut chicken into serving pieces and cook until tender. Season with salt. When chicken is almost soft, add the sliced potatoes.

Roll out the dough as thin as possible(1/8") and cut in 1" squares with a knife or pastry wheel. Drop into the boiling broth, which should be sufficient to cover the chicken well.
