Here's another recipe using items mostly from your pantry. This recipe is easily multiplied. You can use leftover cooked chicken for even more flavor. You can even use canned tuna or shrimp in place of the chicken. The vegetables may be varied according to what you have on hand, including leftovers.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 (3-ounce) package chicken flavor ramen soup mix
1/2 cup chopped onion (or 2 Tbsp of dried onion)
1/4 cup sliced hearts of palm (canned)
1-1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 (10-ounce) can cooked chunk chicken, drained
1/4 cup peas or mixed vegetables (canned)
Parmesan cheese
Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Cook the ramen noodles separately according to package directions, reserving the flavoring packet for use below. Drain and keep warm.
While cooking the noodles, saute the onion and hearts of palm in a large frying pan until onion is soft. Add drained chicken chunks and peas then heat until warmed through, taking care not to shred the chicken chunks. Stir in the contents of the ramen soup flavoring packet, and combine until mixed. Add the cooked, drained ramen noodles. Toss until coated. Turn onto plates and top with grated Parmesan cheese and parsley.
