One Pot Wonder


Adapted from The Wholesome Dish
PRINT
My take on this recipe is as follows - I love that it is versatile and you can add to it whatever you have on hand.

3 small chicken breasts thawed and cut into chunks
1/2  box of Whole wheat noodles - I've used spaghetti and fettucini
2 cups of frozen vegetables
1 tsp minced garlic
2 Tbl. soy sauce
1 tsp corn starch (mixed in a little water)
1 can diced tomatoes
3 cans water
2 tsp chicken boullion or 2 cubes
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Place all in a large saucepan.  Cover and let boil for about 15 min.  Stir and cook until water is mostly evaporated.  Mine still needed some more flavor so I added a couple tablespoons of teriyaki sauce I had on hand.  Add more seasonings as desired.


Recipe from The Wholesome Dish as follows: (I have made this recipe as well - it still lacks some flavor)
Ingredients
  • ½ lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into small chunks
  • 1 - 13.25 to 16 oz. box of linguini or fettuccini pasta, broken in half (I used whole wheat)
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut in thin 3 inch long strips
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut in thin 3 inch long strips
  • 1 bunch green onions, white part sliced and green part cut in 3 inch long strips
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
  1. Add the chicken, then the pasta, then the remaining ingredients to a large stockpot and cover. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir and reduce the heat to medium-low.
  2. Cook covered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until most of the liquid is gone and the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Remove the lid and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
