Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Chef knife
  • garlic press
  • hand grater

Ingredients  

  • 10½ oz chicken breast (see note)
  • 14 oz coleslaw mix
  • 5 oz noodles, Barilla whole grain thin spaghetti
  • 1 medium onion
  • 7 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger
  • 6 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce, divided
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • ¼ tsp curry powder, extra if you think it is needed

Instructions

  • Slice the chicken breast and place it in a bowl with 2 tbsp of the soy sauce and a pinch of garlic powder. Stir it and set it aside to marinade for at least 15 min.
  • Put a pan of water on the cook top to boil for the noodles.
  • Slice the onions and then cut the slices in half. Run the garlic cloves through a garlic press or finely mince them. Grate the fresh ginger.
  • Heat a skillet and then add the chicken and marinade to it. Stir the chicken as it cooks. When it is cooked through, transfer it and any juices to a clean bowl and set aside.
  • Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook until al dente. Drain off the water and set aside.
  • Add olive oil to the same skillet. When the oil is hot, add the onions and saute until they are tender. Then add 1 tbsp curry powder, garlic and ginger to the pan and saute for about 30 sec until they are aromatic.
  • Next add the coleslaw mix to the skillet along with 4 tbsp of soy sauce. Saute until the cabbage is tender.
  • Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to mix. Taste and add more soy sauce and/or garlic powder if you think it is needed.
  • Finally add the cooked chicken and any residual juice to the skillet and toss to mix. Taste and add the extra ¼ tsp of curry powder f you think it is needed. I like a strong curry taste and used 1 tbsp plus ¼ tsp total of the curry powder.
  • Transfer the skillet contents to a bowl or platter. Serve and enjoy.
  • Refrigerate leftovers.

Notes

You can add more chicken if you desire more protein.
While I haven't tried it, I think spaghetti squash will work well in this recipe. I plan on trying it in the near future and will update on the results with a note.
I did not add any extra salt as I thought there was plenty from the soy sauce.
