One Pot Creamy Noodles With Chicken and Broccoli

This is a very simple recipe...perfect for a rushed meal. I serve this with a salad and buns for a complete meal

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons  vegetable oil
• 4  small boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1  small onion, chopped
• 1  large garlic, minced
• 3  cups  chicken stock
• 3  cups  medium egg noodles
• 2  cups broccoli florets
• 1  cup sour cream
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  hot pepper flakes (optional)
•  salt and pepper
•  fresh parsley

Directions

1. In large stock pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add chicken pieces, onion and garlic; saute for 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside. Transfer chicken mixture to bowl and set aside.
2. Add stock to frypan. Cover and increase heat to high; bring to a boil. Add noodles and boil, uncovered for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add broccoli and reduce heat to medium; cover partially and cook for 2 - 3 minutes or until noodles are tender and broccoli is cooked, sirring occasionally.
3. Remove about 2 T of liquid from pot and discard.
4. Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream. Return chicken mixture to pot; stir and heat through. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Options: The veggies are inter-changeable. I have used red bell peppers, mushrooms, snap peas instead of the broccoli -- or you can use a mixture of all.
