Try making this one pan wonder next time you are in the mood for a quick spicy dinner!

Ingredients:
1 medium onion cut thinly
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts-cubed
1 1/2 cups water
2 chicken bullion cubes
2 4 oz. cans of mushrooms (NOT drained)
4 cups of egg noodles
2 tablespoons of chili peppers in adobo sauce
8 ounces of sour cream

Directions:
You will need a pan that had a lid and is deep.

Start by pre-heating your pan to medium-high heat.  Add a little olive oil to the pan.  Add onions and chicken.  Cook for 5-7 minutes.  Add water, bullion cubes, mushrooms, and egg noodles to the pan.  Stir.  Bring to a boil.  Once it is boiling, reduce heat to LOW.  Cover with a lid and let simmer for 10-12 minutes or until only a little liquid is left in the pan and noodles are tender.  Once this is done, add the pepper and stir to combine.  Let cook for 2 minutes. Take pan off heat and add sour cream.  Stir all ingredients together and serve!

This dish is so much fun to make and it tastes great too!

Ingredients:
8 ounces (about 2) boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into cubes
1 teaspoon of both ginger and garlic
1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce
3-4 cups of pre-packaged coleslaw mix
1/2 cup sliced green onions
4-6 Flour tortillas

Directions:
Start by heating a 10 inch skillet to medium high heat. Toss in a very small amount of olive oil or use some non stick spray to coat the pan. Add chicken and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the teriyaki sauce and mix well. Turn the heat to medium and add the coleslaw and onions. Continue to cook for another 4 minutes.
Spread mixture evenly onto the tortillas and serve.
