I was definitely in need of a quick meal fix for one when I came up with this yummy Fuel Pull (We are just under the fat grams here, at about 4.5 grams, but only because I don't eat a whole lot of meat. Depending on how lean your chicken is, you may be able to get away with a FP with even a bit more meat, or you can just make it a full blown S!). Tender chicken blended with the savory Asian flavors of spicy chili and ginger, all coming together in about 10-15 minutes!
Ingredients
2 oz (or more; more may make it an S, though) frozen chicken
2 cups of water, plus more as needed
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp Hot salsa
dash or two of siracha (optional)
1 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp garlic salt (optional)
1 1/12-2 tsp dried minced onion
2-4 cloves of garlic, minced (to taste, really. I just love garlic)
salt to taste
1/2-1 tsp Gentle Sweet, or 1/4- 1/2 tsp Super Sweet Blend
Fish sauce or low sodium soy sauce to taste
Place the frozen chicken in a small pot with a couple tablespoons of the fish sauce/soy sauce and the water, and bring to a boil. When the chicken is cooked through, place it to the side; KEEP THE CHICKEN BROTH. This is your soup base.
Mix all ingredients in with the broth (minus the chicken) and bring to a simmer, adding water as needed to keep it from scorching, about 1/4 cup at a time. Let simmer as you shred the chicken.
Add the shredded chicken to the broth, and bring to a boil quickly and turn off the heat, allowing it to settle on the warm element.
I didn't have any available at the moment, but adding some Not Naughty Noodles to the broth would make this a lovely chicken ramen! Or add some fresh mushrooms, fresh chopped onion, and finely diced bell peppers to the simmering broth for more veggies. Enjoy tweaking this to your tastes, adding spices you like, and OWNING the recipe!
