A True One Pot Wonder

This recipe has been pinned on my Pinterest "Recipes To Try" board forever and I recently had the guts to try it! Wow, Amanda from The Wholesome Dish has created a delicious One Pot Wonder Chicken Lo Mein!!  This dish was easy to make, delicious and while I had my suspicions, actually all cooked in one large pot, exactly as described.  I can assure you that mine did not look as beautiful as Amanda's when I put everything into the pot, but it definitely ended up resembling like her finished product.  Warning, it does have a bit of spice to it!

Ingredients:

½ lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into small chunks

12 oz. whole wheat linguini or fettuccini, broken in half

4 medium carrots, peeled and cut in thin 3 inch long strips

1 medium red bell pepper, cut in thin 3 inch long strips

1 bunch green onions, white part sliced and green part cut in 3 inch long strips

4 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup soy sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon corn starch

1 tablespoon sugar

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

½ cup water  **I did add a little extra water to cover the pasta, because I did not read the directions closely and put the pasta on top of the ingredient pile...Oops!

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

 

Directions:

 

1) Add the chicken, then the pasta, then the remaining ingredients to a large stockpot and cover. Bring to a boil. Stir and reduce to a simmer. Cook covered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until most of the liquid is gone and the chicken is cooked through.
