Easy Chicken Chow Main

Ingredients:
• 2 packages ramen noodles
• 1 tsp olive oil (or sesame oil)
• 1/2 lb chicken breast, sliced
• Season with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp paprika
• Squeeze of half a lemon
• 3 cups chopped cabbage
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup chopped onions (any kind, I used green)
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tbsp minced ginger
• 1 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
• optional topping: red pepper flakes

Notes:
• For noodles, if you can find yakisoba or soba noodles, they are a great option! Otherwise, any kind works! It’s all about having it in moderation.
• Edamame, red peppers, green beans, broccoli are a few of the many veggies you could also use as a substitute or add-on!
• If you want to lower the calories and increase the volume even further you can add more cabbage and less noodles! You can also replace the honey/brown sugar with any low calorie sweetener!

Cook noodles and drain.  Brown chicken with spices and lemon for 5 mins.  Remove chicken.  Cook cabbage, carrots, onions, celery.  Add soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, red pepper.  Add noodles and chicken and serve.
