In a medium sauce pan heat chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Bring to a boil. Add pepper, stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium low. Add chicken, simmer until chicken is done and sauce is slightly thickened. Stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick. Make slurry of 1/4 cup of flour and 1/2 cup water and stir into simmering pot. Reduce heat to low and cover.
In large bowl, combine flour, eggs, salt and nutmeg. Add water a little at a time to form a soft dough.

When noodles float to the top of the water they are done (3 to 4 minutes). Place cooked spaetzle in colander or bowl and set aside. Just before serving add back to boiling water for a minute to warm.
Serve Chicken mixture over spaetzle. Makes 4 servings.
