Edamame, noodles and chicken make a delicious quick dinner. A great way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken or chicken fingers. Make the dish with spaghetti or ramen right out of your pantry!
This Chicken and Edamame Asian Noodles recipe is quick and easy. Although I love cooking from scratch, sometimes short-cuts help when making quick lunches. In this recipe I use frozen breaded pop-corn chicken and frozen shelled edamame to cut down on prep and clean-up time. The results are still quite satisfying, and if you are like me and are fussy about raw chicken clean-up this recipe is a real time saver. The edamame adds an extra boost of protein, as well as color. Even my fussy daughter will eat this Chicken and Edamame Asian Noodle recipe.
A few nice quick recipes that would go great with this dish; Asian Cucumber Salad and Green Tea Lemonade.
