Grab a blender or food processor and add 1 pound of ground chicken and 2 eggs.

Process on low for about 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture resembles a dough.

Bring a pan of water to a simmer and season with salt.

Using two spoons, drop little dumplings of the chicken mixture into the simmering water.

Let the dumplings cook for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the center is no longer pink.

Remove the cooked dumplings from the water and let them drain on a paper towel.

Repeat the process until all the chicken mixture is cooked.

Place a dry pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter.

Add all the chicken pieces to the pan and sauté for about 3 minutes or until lightly browned.

In another pan over medium-high heat, add 1 pound of ground beef and break it up with a spatula.

Cook the beef until it is about 70% browned, then absorb about 80% of the water and fat in the pan.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of granulated garlic, and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce to the beef.

Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream or half and half and 1/2 cup of sour cream, stirring to combine.

Reduce the sauce for about 4 minutes or until it coats a spoon.

Add the chicken noodles to the sauce and combine until coated.

Taste for seasoning and serve, optionally garnished with chopped parsley.
