• In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

• Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream, deglazing the pot as you stir. Then add the parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, oregano and thyme, and stir together on a low to medium heat.
• Finally, add the sun dried tomatoes to the skillet and stir until the sauce is well combined. Continue stirring and on a low simmer for 5 minutes as the sauce thickens and bubbles.

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.
