Ingredients
  

  • Two boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Olive oil
  • All my ingredients are chosen for the low sodium content because I am striving to eat heart healthy due to high blood pressure.
  • 1/4 cup of Hoisin sauce there are many brands at the grocery store choose the one with the least amount of salt and preservatives
  • 2-3 tablespoons of soya sauce
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon of ground ginger we used fresh
  • 1/ 2 cup of chicken broth - low sodium only
  • One package of fresh mushrooms sliced thin
  • One big package of udon noodles four servings minimum
  • One bunch of green onions

Instructions
 

  • Boil udon noodles.
  • Brown the chicken breasts in a skillet with one tablespoon of olive oil. Remove and slice into chunks.
  • Add mushrooms to the skillet. Continue to brown with the chicken keeping close eye on the recipe so it doesn't burn.
  • Grate the garlic and the ginger and add to the dish.
  • Add the 1/2 cup of low sodium chicken broth. I have found a very low sodium Campbell's chicken broth that I love lately.
  • Remove udon noodles from water when they are sufficiently cooked, drain.
  • Add the noodles to the entire mixture and then add the hoisin, and the soya and stir it up.
  • Chop the green onions and add to the top of each dish as garnish. (leave off for kids if they do not like these)
  • Serve and enjoy. Although this indicates it takes close to an hour to make it takes a lot less time when the kids are helping and working with you in the kitchen.
