Thanks, Recipe ReDux, for reminding me that it’s tax season and I have yet to file our return! The past few weeks have been crazy busy, so this month’s ReDux theme of “seven ingredients or less” is much appreciated. You too can have dinner ready in under 10 minutes with this breeze of a meal!

Ingredients:

(serves 1)

1 block of brown rice ramen noodles (found them at Costco)

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/4 cup red onion, sliced

3 oz cooked chicken breast, shredded

1  jarred roasted red pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 teaspoon chicken bullion paste

1 large zucchini, cut into long strands

Preparation:

1. Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, boiling for about 4 minutes in a small saucepan.
2. While the noodles cook, heat the olive oil in a skillet. Sauté the red onion, chicken, and red pepper for 2 minutes.
3. Stir in the bullion paste, hot drained ramen noodles, and zucchini strands. Serve immediately.

This dish is fast, nutritious, and tastes like a guilty pleasure! By bulking up the ramen with zucchini noodles you can enjoy a heaping bowl of comfort food and feel great about your decision.
