Chicken Chop Suey

I'm going to start with a family recipe that doesn't have dairy, is low-fat, quick, and super easy.  This is a great meal to keep ingredients on hand for since they're all non-perishables.  Then if you're desperate for a quick fix you have a meal to be ready in 20 minutes!

Ingredients:

1 can Chop Suey Vegetables
1 can Bean Sprouts
1 large can chicken (white meat, breast, chunk--it's your choice!)
2 cups chicken broth (I use bouillon cubes and make my own)
Soy Sauce to taste
1 tbsp cornstarch, dissolved in 3 tbsp water

4 cups cooked rice
1 can/bag crunchy chinese noodles


Open all the cans and dump contents into a large pan/skillet.  Add the chicken broth and soy sauce.  Stir and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until veggies are desired tenderness. I like mine completely soft and that's about 15-20 minutes.  If desired, add cornstarch mixture, bring to boil, and cook for a few minutes until thickened.

Serve over rice with crunchy noodles.

This is major comfort food for me.  A little salty, a little crunchy, and veggies that don't really taste like veggies! : )  It makes great leftovers, too.  Just store the chop suey and rice separately.
