Not sure what to make for dinner tonight? Try this quick and easy meal from The Eat-Clean Diet® Recharged! The great thing about this dish is you can substitute whatever veggies you have on hand. It makes delicious leftovers!

Ingredients

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into ¼-inch strips
• 2 Tbsp / 30 ml low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tsp / 5 ml fresh ginger, minced
• 1 clove garlic, passed through a garlic press
• 2 Tbsp / 30 ml rice wine vinegar
• 2 Tbsp / 30 ml toasted sesame oil
• 4 cups / 960 ml low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 package / 8 oz dry soba noodles or Asian noodles
• ½ cup / 120 ml frozen peas
• 2 cups / 480 ml broccoli spears
• ¼ cup / 60 ml thinly sliced sweet red pepper
• 1 small carrot, peeled and grated
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
• 4 generous handfuls spinach
• ¼ cup / 60 ml unsalted roasted peanuts, chopped (optional)

Preparation

  1. Combine chicken, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, rice wine vinegar and toasted sesame oil in a small saucepan. Heat mixture on medium.
  2. Add broth and bring to a gentle boil. Continue cooking until chicken is no longer pink – at least 10 minutes.
  3. Add noodles, peas, broccoli and red pepper. Cook until broccoli turns bright green and is tender-crisp. Reduce heat and let sit, covered.
  4. Stir in carrot and green onion.
  5. When ready to serve, divide spinach leaves among four bowls at the bottom of each bowl. Ladle soup into each bowl, making sure to divide ingredients as evenly as possible. Garnish with peanuts (if using).

Tosca’s Tip

Add bok choy, nappa cabbage, rapini or other greens to this meal to up the nutrient value of this dish!

    This was awesome. I overcooked it a little but it was still great. My husband who is a little hesitant with "healthy" recipes, LOVED it. I can't wait to try the Bison burgers. My kids really like hamburgers but I hate all the fat and the recipe for the burgers sounds really delicious. Thanks
  • From: Momto3boys about 3 years ago

    I made this for myself tonight, and it's wonderful! This is my first "clean" meal- if everything tastes this good and is this easy to make, I think I have my new way of eating for life!
  • From: fitness.4.fun about 3 years ago

    I cooked this for dinner and loved it (I felt like I was eating a comfort food which made it even better as with each bite I knew I was eating healthy too)! I am single and have packaged up the other 3 servings so I'll let you know how it keeps for leftovers. Thanks for the recipe :-)

    This recipe might be quick and easy, but the sodium content is out of control. You might as well get take out. Nothing is healthy that contains over 900 mgs of sodium per serving.
  • From: KrysLeigh about 3 years ago

    Dailypainter you could always make your own chciken stock to reduce the sodium content. LOVE this recipe!
  • From: ladyjeanann2002 about 3 years ago

    I loved this soup , thank you!
  • From: eatclean4life about 3 years ago

    This recipe looks delicious. I will make it soon.
  • From: lcorvette about 3 years ago

    This was delicious! I didn't add the noodles. So - I changed the name to Asian bowl without noodles! :) I added Bok choy - great taste and also added shrimp. The family loved it!
  • From: glo about 3 years ago

    The whole family likes this one.

    As far as the sodium goes, I have found a broth that IS truly lower in sodium. The only one I have found in the grocery store is Campbells--and it is only 25% less sodium. I have recently purchased a powdered chicken stock from Epicure--you know, the home parties? It smells and tastes delicious--like real chicken soup! And it has around 130mg per serving, as opposed to the 600-900 mg you find in other brands! Their products are pretty clean too.
  • From: niknak1006 about 3 years ago

    I absolutely love this recipe...make it every week when I am on cooler 2!!!
  • From: mylycha about 3 years ago

    I think this recipe is awesome! There are so many variations. You can replace chicken with shrimp. If you can find some "clean" Udon noodles, those are delish in this also. Mix up the vegatables, etc...
  • From: karinsmith32 about 3 years ago

    I made this soup this afternoon. It taste great.! Added bok choy . Could only find Udon noodles in my area grocery stores. It was easier then it looks to make. Im sure ill make it again. Thanks
  • From: ludemandl about 3 years ago

    Yummy!! Easy and filling.
  • From: sunshinelover about 3 years ago

    Absolutely delicious!
  • From: MoorhouseS1 about 3 years ago

    This was my families first eat clean meal and we loved it!
  • From: USPSPM2 about 3 years ago

    My entire family loved this recipe.
  • From: ibarton65 about 3 years ago

    Absolutely loved this. Since I put veggies in that hubby won't eat, I froze a bunch. I'm selfish when it comes to such a DELISH dish.
  • From: sailisa about 3 years ago

    Very filling and tasty but did anyone else have trouble with the soba noodles sticking together? Wonder if I should have cooked them separate even though they added a lot of flavor to this meal.
  • From: AnitaJ. about 3 years ago

    This soup was a huge hit with the entire family!
  • From: NitNat about 3 years ago

    I made this for dinner last night, and it turned out great! I would like to make it again, with beef and mushrooms! Yummy! The only difficult thing about this recipe is trying to find a good "clean" store-bought broth. I don't have the time to be making my own and freezing it.
  • From: sweetjarice about 3 years ago

    I made this last week. It was easy and the taste was excellent. I thought it would reheat better if the noodles weren't in it, though. It was pretty starchy and tended to get very thick when refrigerated and reheated. Still tasted great, though!
  • From: JessFortuna about 2 years ago

    For those of you having a hard time finding Soba noodles, I have found whole wheat Soba noodles at my local Marc's stores on occasion. When I find them, I stock up! Just a helpful hint I wanted to share with everyone.
  • From: Kristy Cranford about 2 years ago

    Publix, Whole Foods, and Earth Fare will have the noodles and broth you are looking for.... also if you have an asian market in your town.
  • From: medoledo about 2 years ago

    For anyone worried bout the sodium content: You can easily make your own chicken broth (using leftover baked chicken bones and veggies), without added salt. It's easy and it freezes well in medium Ziploc containers for future uses.
  • From: WhiteOleander about 1 year ago

    The 1st time I made this was 1st time I ever cooked for my boyfriend. Needless to say he's still around-LOL. One of my favorite dishes of all time.
  • From: roberk3 about 1 year ago

    My boyfriend came home SO hungry and when he saw the pot on the stove he said, with a forced smile, "mmm, yummy...soup..." He was such a good sport and started eating it with a smile. He loved it! Even his 10 year old gobbled down an entire bowl. One of our favorites.
  • From: Pinotchick about 4 months ago

    I used sodium free chicken broth, broccoli and left out the peppers & peanuts. This is absolutely delicious! One recipe I'll make over & over again!
  • From: slwisdom about 4 months ago

    My first Eat Clean Diet meal, and it was delicious. Added bok choy and snow peas, and it filled the house with a wonderful aroma. Delish
