A light and healthy low-calorie chicken noodles recipe featuring lean chicken breast, whole wheat noodles, and fresh vegetables for a nutritious and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

8 ounces whole wheat spaghetti noodles
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium carrot, julienned
1 medium zucchini, julienned
1 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Cook the whole wheat spaghetti noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated fresh ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast strips to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
Add the julienned carrot, zucchini, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables with the chicken for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low sodium chicken broth, low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce and combined with the chicken and vegetables.
Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.
