A great body comes from lifestyle changes. A very important point to remember while changing your eating habits is to substitute all refined products with more natural whole grain alternatives. This way you can continue enjoying your pastas and noodles without feeling guilty.
This particular recipe is a very simple one that involves the use of Whole Wheat noodles. Whole grains are better because you can find abundant complex carbs in whole grain with adequate amounts of fiber and protein. Whole wheat chicken noodles are my go to for a quick lunch or dinner when I’m cooking for my brother.
Let’s see what you’ll need:
– Whole Wheat or multi grain noodles (any brand)
– 200-300 grams white mushrooms
– Half a broccoli
– 100 grams sweet corn
– 1 small shallot/onion
– 5-6 cloves of garlic
– minced or sliced boneless chicken
– Fat free dressing (I chose Chilli Oregano from Veeba)
– Olive oil
– Salt and pepper
How to cook:
1. Fill a deep pan with 3/4th of water and add the noodles to it. Bring to boil.
2. It’ll take around 15 minutes for the noodles to be soft and ready.
3. In a frying pan, add 2-3 teaspoons of olive oil while on medium heat. Add chopped garlic to the pan.
4. Sauté the galic in the oil for 3-4 minutes and add thinly sliced onions to the pan.
5. Once the onions turn slightly golden, add the chicken to the pan and sauté.
6. The chicken will take around 15-20 minutes to cook so I suggest you do this while the noodles are boiling.
7. Once the noodles are done, drain the excess water through a sieve.
8. Once the chicken is cooked add boiled vegetables to the pan and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. I also added chilli flakes to add a hot twist to the recipe.
9. Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, you can either add the noodles into the same pan or you can serve this on top of boiled noodles.
10. Add the sauce on top of the noodles or on the side.
Your easy to make protein and vitamin packed dinner is ready ! Serve it hot with fresh pressed juice and enjoy 🙂
