This dish my friends is what we will all be eating in heaven, I'm convinced. It was so divine!There are so many things I love about this dish. First of all it's so easy!

When it comes to making dinner I prefer a quick, easy meal that everyone loves

I'm sure you feel the exact same way. No one has hours to spend in the kitchen - especially if you have little kiddos pulling at your legs to come help them get their toys down, go potty or spin around in circles because, apparently that's a super fun activity for a 2-year-old.

This dish from start to finish takes about 30 minutes, that's it! I will take you through step by step of making this delicious dinner, or you can see the recipe list version at the bottom.

There are 3 main parts to this dish

1. The rice noodle sauce

2. The chicken

3. The vegetables.

You can start in any order (or do them all at once), but we'll start with the sauce for now. These are the things you'll need:

Sauce

Chicken broth Rice Noodles Canned coconut milk Curry powder Ground ginger (not pictured) Salt (not pictured)

Rice noodles cook similarly to pasta, but don't have any gluten in them, which is perfect for all those sensitive tummies out there.

Bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling add about half of a 14 oz. package of rice noodles. Boil, and stir occasionally until soft and tender to the bite. They take about 5-7 minutes to cook. Once cooked dump the noodles into a strainer to drain the water.

Next, add your coconut milk, chicken broth, curry, ginger and salt. If your pot isn't big enough (like mine) you can transfer your noodles to a sauce pan and then add the other ingredients. If you're lucky you'll have a big enough pot and won't need to use another pan thus creating a bigger mess to pick up later. Ha! My birthday is coming, my birthday is coming...

This is what the sauce should look like once it's done! Mmmm I want to eat it all!

Next, cook the vegetables

You can use whatever vegetable you'd like. That's another beauty of this dish. It's easily adaptable so everyone can be happy. This time I used:

Broccoli

Red bell peppers

Carrots

You can also use snap peas, cabbage, onion, green beans, mushrooms, spinach, kale, squash, zucchini and any other vegetable your little heart desires.

In a frying pan add a couple tablespoons of avocado oil to broccoli and set heat to medium. Season with a dash of salt and pepper, add 1/8 of a cup of water and cover with the lid to let the broccoli steam. While this is steaming you can be doing the other vegetable prep: washing, chopping and dicing.

After the broccoli is easily pierced with a fork, remove it from the pan and set in a bowl to the side. Add your red peppers with a little water and cover with the lid. When tender, remove and set aside with the broccoli.

Next, add your carrots. (Is this not the CUTEST little dancing/running carrot?Carrots can be "cute" right?)

Add a couple more tablespoons of oil, along with the minced garlic and carrots. Add a little more water, cover with the lid and steam until easily pierced with a fork. When tender, set aside with the other vegetables.

Chicken

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

You're almost done! Cut each chicken breast into 1 inch cubes, drizzle with a little bit of avocado oil, and season with kosher salt and some freshly ground black pepper.

In the same pan that the vegetables were in, heat 1 tablespoon of oil with heat set to medium high. Once the pan is hot add the chicken and sear on one side until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side, then turn the heat down to medium and cook until chicken is cooked through. This should only take 3-5 minutes. Once the chicken is done, now all you have to do is put it all together on a plate or in a bowl and enjoy!
