Ingredients

Directions

  2. Add chicken cubes and minced garlic to the skillet; cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes or until chicken is browned on all sides.
  3. Stir in water, the seasoning packets from the ramen mixes (discard the noodle blocks for now), Italian seasoning, and baby carrots.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook for 6 to 7 minutes or until carrots are crisp-tender.
  6. While the chicken cooks, gently break each block of ramen noodles in half.
  7. Add the broken noodles and sliced zucchini to the skillet.
  8. Bring the liquid back to a boil.
  9. Boil, uncovered, for 5 to 6 minutes or until zucchini is tender and noodles are cooked, gently separating noodles with tongs as they soften.

Note

If using large carrots, cut them in half crosswise before adding to ensure they cook evenly with the chicken.

For a lower-sodium version, use half of the seasoning packets and add extra fresh herbs like parsley or basil.

This dish is best served immediately while the noodles are fresh and the vegetables are crisp-tender.
