Ingredients

  • 6 ounces ramen (2 packages) seasoning packets discarded
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 to 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 carrots peeled and sliced into matchsticks
  • 8 ounce can water chestnuts drained and sliced in half
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce plus more if desired
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • Red chile sauce optional and to taste
  • 3 to 4 green onions trimmed and thinly sliced
  • sesame seeds optional for garnishing
  • salt and pepper optional and to taste

Instructions

  • Meanwhile, melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet. Add chicken and cook over medium-high heat for several minutes or until nearly (but not quite) cooked through. Flip chicken pieces once about halfway through to ensure even cooking. While the chicken is cooking, start boiling water for noodles.
  • Add vegetables, garlic and ginger to the skillet with the chicken, cover and cook for several minutes or until crisp-tender.
  • While the vegetables are cooking, cook noodles according to package directions, drain, and set aside.
  • Add the noodles, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and optional chile sauce to the skillet and toss to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Notes

Feel free to customize the veggies to anything you have on hand that you can quick saute. Cabbage and bok choy are great additions.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days and the freezer for up to 4 months. Reheat in the microwave once thawed, or in the oven, covered with foil, until steamy (about 10 minutes at 350).
