Chicken and Edamame Asian Noodles : Quick & Easy Recipe

*articles may contain compensated links*

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.

Recipe Notes

I like to serve these with Ponzu sauce, a little soy sauce and lemon juice is a good substitute. I sometimes add peanuts, either half way through cooking or as a garnish.
