Chicken and Edamame Asian Noodles : Quick & Easy Recipe

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.

• 1/2 of a sweet onion
• 1/2 c. frozen shelled edamame

Instructions

• Put on a pan of water for noodles (or spaghetti).

• Slice the onions into 1/4 " wedges, then cut in half.
• Fry the onions in the canola oil (med/high) until they start to brown.
• Toss chicken in with the onions. Stir frequently.
• Noodles and frozen edamame should be going in water by this point (together).
• Whisk all remaining ingredients together in a small bowl.
• Continue cooking the chicken and onions, the goal is crispy browned chicken.
• Once noodles are cooked and drain.
• Toss the noodles and edamame in with chicken, and stir to coat with oil and slightly stir fry.

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.
