Use pastas to stretch your meals. For example: cut up two pieces of chicken (preferably breasts) into small strips. Peel a carrot and cut it into rings, slice up some onion into rings or wedges, and any other vegetable you like stir-fried. Start a pot of water boiling.
Open a packet of chicken flavor ramen noodles. Sprinkle half the seasoning packet on the raw chicken, toss to coat, then stir-fry up the chicken in a little bit of oil until the edges are cooked. Throw the cut-up vegetables in the same pan and cook until veggies are tender-crisp. When the water boils, dump in the ramen noodles for about 4 minutes or until cooked. Drain noodles and add to the chicken and vegetables, toss to coat and serve.
