Ingredients
Ramen and Protein
- 4 packages chicken flavored ramen (single serving size, about 85 grams each)
- 2 cups cooked, chopped chicken
Vegetables
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
Sauce
- 2½ cups low sodium chicken broth
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 seasoning packet from the ramen packages (optional if using unsalted broth)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Ramen Noodles: Open the ramen packages and remove the seasoning packets. Place the dried noodles into the baking dish, breaking them as needed to fit evenly.
- Add Chicken and Vegetables: Evenly distribute the frozen mixed vegetables and chopped cooked chicken over the noodles in the dish.
- Mix Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, low sodium soy sauce, corn starch, and one seasoning packet from the ramen (if using salted broth, omit the seasoning packet). This will create a smooth, thickened teriyaki-style sauce.
- Combine and Cover: Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the noodles, chicken, and vegetables. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to retain moisture while baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 23-27 minutes, or until the ramen noodles are tender but still have a slight bite (al dente).
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately for a warm, comforting meal.
Notes
- Use low sodium broth and soy sauce to control salt levels in the dish.
- If you prefer more sauce, add an extra ½ cup of chicken broth when mixing the sauce ingredients.
- Feel free to swap the mixed vegetables for fresh veggies like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- To make it vegetarian, replace chicken with tofu and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
