How to Prepare Our Ramen Noodle Caboodle Recipe
Cook or pan roast the chicken in a deep skillet. When juices run clear and the chicken is completely done, add the frozen vegetables.
Allow the vegetables to cook until they reach a tender state.
Next, add the Ramen Noodles. Do NOT add the chicken packet. As you'll see below in our nutrition data chart, the packet is mined with excess sodium which can generate false pounds in the body due to sodium's water retention properties. And false weight gain is the last thing you need if you're trying to manage your body weight.
The Ramen Noodles should quickly cook. I use a spatula to break them apart at some point - when they look a bit moist. Add your favorite Chinese sauce to complete the recipe.
