The Ultimate Guilt-Free Asian Noodle Bowl: Quick and Easy

Skinny Asian Chicken and Noodle Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup onions, chopped
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup celery, sliced into small pieces
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • 16 ounces chicken breast (boneless, skinless), cut into very small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 10 cups Swanson’s reduced-sodium chicken broth or your favorite, see shopping tips
  • ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or cider vinegar
  • ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 cup frozen corn, not thawed
  • 1 (10-12 oz) package broccoli slaw or cabbage
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 2 (3 oz) packages of Top Ramen noodles (throw away the seasoning packet)
  • 2 cups spinach leaves, packed

Instructions
 

  • Add the onions, red peppers, and celery to a microwave-safe bowl. Cook vegetables in the microwave for 4 minutes, to soften.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large nonstick pan or pot. Add chicken. Cook for 3 minutes. Turn over and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir often. When chicken is white inside, remove cooked chicken to a plate. Set aside.
  • Keep the chicken drippings in the large pan and heat 1 more teaspoon olive oil. Add cooked vegetables, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook stirring often, for 2 minutes. Stir in broth, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and corn. Bring to a boil. Stir in broccoli slaw or cabbage, shredded carrots, and ramen noodles (throw away the seasoning packet). Bring back to a boil and turn down to simmer. Continue to cook and stir often, separating the noodles as they cook with a fork. Cook for 3-4 minutes until ramen noodles are soft. Stir in cooked chicken and spinach. Continue to cook for 1 minute, until heated through.
  • To serve: remove the ramen noodles with a fork and divide among 8 servings. Pour broth, with vegetables and chicken, among each serving.  Serve with a spoon and chopsticks, if desired. The extra servings freeze great.
