Sesame Noodles with Chicken & Broccoli

I received notice that you guys wanted a Sesame Noodle recipe and I think I made up a pretty good one that will keep you full and most importantly, satisfied with some healthy additions to a traditional dish. I really enjoyed this dish with its deep sesame flavor, crunchy vegetables and Asian taste.

Sesame Noodles with Chicken & Broccoli: Serves 4

8oz Linguine
1.5TB Toasted Sesame Oil
1tsp Ginger - Grated/Minced
2 Garlic Cloves - Minced
Salt & Pepper
1 Small Head of Broccoli - Chopped
1 Large Red Bell Pepper - Sliced
1 Chicken Breast - Boneless Skinless
6TB Kraft Light Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing
1/4C Chicken Stock
1tsp Soy Sauce

First pound the chicken breast so it is approximately 1/4" thick all over. Once this is done poke the chicken with a fork all over then marinade in 4TB salad dressing for at least 45 minutes.

Once the chicken has marinaded bring a large pot of salted water to boil, once boiling add linguine and cook to Al dente. Drain and set to the side.

While the pasta is cooking heat a saute pan over medium heat and add the chicken and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through.  Once cooked let it sit for 4-5 minutes the slice into small pieces and set to the side.

In a large saute pan over medium heat add sesame oil, garlic and ginger, and let cook for 30-45 seconds, the garlic and ginger should be pretty fragrant at this time. Now add the broccoli & bell pepper with some salt and pepper and stir fry until the veggies are cooked through - approximately 5-7 minutes. Add the pasta, chicken stock, soy sauce, remaining 2TB salad dressing and chicken to the saute pan and toss to coat, serve & enjoy.
