This dish has long been a favorite of my family, ever since I first drooled over it on the Pioneer Woman’s website. I ordered the ingredients online yesterday when we returned home from our Florida trip {don’t judge. tired momma.}, and decided that since I love my husband so much, I would slave away all day in the kitchen for Father’s Day. {Not really, this dish is super-easy and quick, but he doesn’t have to know that.} The large amount of oils in this recipe has scared me away a bit since I began trying to trim my middle… so I challenged myself to lighten the noodles up a bit, while still maintaining the flavor. I also threw in some chicken to up the protein. Judging by the husband and four kids, the lightened up version is a total hit!
Gather
Step by Step
- Cut chicken breasts into bite-size chunks.
- Cook thoroughly. (I added a dash of seasoned salt and fresh ground black pepper, as well as some garlic & onion powder)
- Prepare noodles as directed.
- While noodles and chicken are cooking, whisk together all other ingredients (minus the green onions).
- Pour sauce over warm noodles and toss together, coating noodles.
- Add in chicken and green onions, toss again.
- Serve and enjoy!
