So first thing's first: I took 2 pounds of chicken breasts and cut them into thin strips and then set those aside. Then I sliced some carrots, a red bell pepper and some green onions, setting those aside, as well.
Once the chicken was cooked, I removed it (making sure to keep it warm) and added the carrots and bell peppers, cooking for about 2 minutes until it was tender/crisp. Then I added 4 cups of water, as well as two additional season packets, to the skillet, loosening any brown bits that had stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Then I added the dry ramen noodles to the mix, as well as the white parts of the green onions, covering it and letting it simmer for about 5 minutes, checking it once or twice to make sure all sides of the noodles were softening. Then I put the chicken back into the mixture, removed it from the heat and let is stand, covered, for about 4 minutes.
Then I garnished it with the rest of the green onions and voila! Dinner was served!!
This meal was so good, and right up my husband's alley. Like I said, I'm a terrible part Asian (I hardly ever make any Asian food, and, of course, it's his favorite!). Seeing as this meal was so easy, I may have to work on getting more recipes in like this!
The meal was only 260 calories (the recipe made 6 servings) and was only $1.73/serving! For real!
Here's the recipe!
2 medium carrots, peeled and julienned
1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
5-6 green onion with tops, sliced
2 pounds chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons Chinese five spice
4 packages Oriental flavored ramen noodles
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 cups water
Happy cooking everyone!!
