This one-dish dinner is made with chicken tenderloins, broth, teriyaki sauce, linguine noodles and an Asian vegetable blend.

1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
3/4 pound chicken tenderloin pieces, cut in half lengthwise
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon dried ginger
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (or less, to taste)
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1 package (9 ounce size) fresh linguine
1 package (16 ounce size) frozen broccoli, carrots and water chestnuts
3 green onions, sliced on the diagonal
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and saute until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the chicken broth, ginger, red pepper flakes and teriyaki sauce to the skillet and bring to a boil.
Add the linguine and cook until the pasta is almost done, about 3 minutes. Add the frozen vegetables and return to a boil.
Add the reserved chicken and the green onions, and simmer until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the pasta is done.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

This was quick and easy - good flavors, too. Used Publix Japenese Veggie Blend along with the green onions, and "Better than Boulion" Chicken base which comes pre-seasoned. Subbed lo mein noodles for linguine and they came out great! I have been looking for a simple yet tasty lo mein recipe for a while and this one hits the spot! A+

This recipe was very good. My whole family loved it. The chicken was a little dry so next time I think we are going to try pressure cooking the chicken.

We used boneless, skinless chicken breast halves cut in stir-fry like strips. We also used dry linguine instead of fresh and simply cooked it longer in the broth. Turned out great! You could substitute fresh veggies for the frozen if you wish (but the frozen varieties make it so easy!)
