Description

A colorful and nutritious chicken and vegetable ramen packed with flavor, perfect for a hearty and healthy meal.


Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 cup julienned carrots
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)


Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and slice into strips.
  2. In the same pot, add garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Bring to a boil.
  4. Add ramen noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender.
  5. Add bell peppers, carrots, cabbage, and broccoli. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are just tender.
  6. Return the sliced chicken to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for 2 more minutes to heat through.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier version.
  • Swap chicken for tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Add chili flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick.
