Ingredients
- 300g raw skinless chicken breast
- 300g ready-cooked egg noodles
- 160g red pepper
- 160g broccoli
- 20g soy sauce
- 10ml olive oil
Equipment
- hob
- large non-stick pan with lid
- microwave
- microwave-safe plate
- knife
- separate chopping boards
- spatula
- clean plate
- food thermometer
- two bowls
- kitchen scales
Method
- Wash and slice the pepper and cut the broccoli into small florets. On a separate board, cut the raw chicken into strips about 1cm thick; wash hands, knife and board after raw chicken.
- Heat the measured oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 7–10 minutes, turning, until cooked through; check 75°C for 30 seconds with a clean thermometer. Cook in batches if crowded and allow extra time. Transfer to a clean plate.
- Put the pepper and broccoli in the same pan with 60ml water. Cover and cook for 4–6 minutes until tender with some bite. Meanwhile microwave the full 300g pack of ready-cooked noodles exactly as its packet directs, including standing time. The reference pack takes 2 minutes 30 seconds at 800W plus 1 minute standing. Do not use 300g dry noodles.
- Add the hot noodles, measured soy sauce and cooked chicken with its juices to the vegetables. Toss for 1–2 minutes until the whole dish is steaming hot. Divide between two bowls and eat immediately; the reference noodle pack says not to reheat once cooled.

Food safety and storage
- Check all ingredient labels for allergens and use-by dates. Substitutions change nutrition and allergens; these recipes do not guarantee allergy suitability.

- Eat immediately. These instructions do not cover storing or reheating the finished meal.
25-minute estimate for two. Pre-cooked noodles reduce washing-up. Chicken batches or slow preparation take longer; no 5-minute claim.
