How to Make Apricot Noodle Chicken

  1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Set aside.
  2. Slice 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1/2-inch strips.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 packet (1 ounce) chicken soup mix, 1 cup dried apricots (roughly chopped), and 1/4 cup apricot nectar.
  5. Add 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables to the wok with the chicken. Pour the apricot mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir-fry for 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Add the cooked noodles to the wok. Toss to combine and cook for another 2 minutes, until heated through.
  7. Serve immediately. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
