Instructions

To Make The Chicken Noodle Stir-Fry:

  • Cook noodles according to package instructions.  Drain and set aside.
  • In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat.  Add chicken and season evenly with a generous pinch of salt and pepper.  Cook the chicken, stirring and flipping occasionally, for until it is just cooked through and no longer pink on the inside (about 3-5 minutes).  Transfer chicken with a slotted spoon to a separate plate, and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the saute pan, and increase heat to high.  Add broccoli, carrots, bell pepper and mushrooms, and saute for 5 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of softness.
  • Add in the collard greens, sauce, cooked chicken, noodles, and immediately toss to combine.  Continue cooking for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the greens have wilted a bit.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with your desired toppings.

To Make The Stir-Fry Sauce:

  • Whisk all ingredients together until combined.  Then whisk in as much chili garlic sauce as you’d like.

Notes

*You could really use just about any mushrooms here — baby bella, white button, shiitakes, or a combination!
**Feel free to sub in whatever greens you have on hand here — fresh spinach, kale, chard, or mustard greens.
