Aurora’s Tuna or Chicken Noodles

# of Servings: 4

Recipe Created By: mom2rora

1 pkg rice noodles

olive oil or margarine

1 can tuna (drained) (or chicken)

1 pkg steamed veggies (such as broccoli or carrot)

to taste salt

to taste garlic powder (optional)

This is one of my favorite quick meals; it’s easy to make and a balanced meal at that!

I like to use the Birdseye Steam Fresh frozen veggie bags (pop in the microwave for a few minutes.) If you use these, drain the water out before adding to the noodles! I usually buy the carrot/broccoli/cauliflower medley.

If avoiding fish, canned chunked chicken can be used instead of the tuna.

Any type of pasta can be used – wheat, corn, quinoa, etc – instead of the rice noodles.

Alternate oil (rice, canola, etc.) can be used.

Make sure your tuna (or chicken) is soy-free if avoiding soy; this is a common additive in canned meats.

Be sure to check your frozen vegetable mix for any additives or seasonings.

Butter and Margarine: Butter is a dairy product made from cow’s milk. Margarine typically contains milk or soy, but there are milk-free and soy-free versions available.

Gluten: Gluten is a protein found in specific grains (wheat, spelt, kamut, barley, rye). Other grains are naturally gluten-free but may have cross-contact with gluten-containing grains. Look for certified gluten-free products if you need to avoid gluten. Find out more about wheat and gluten substitutions.
