An easy winner

I came across this recipe in the weekly Can I Get the Recipe email that I receive. It sounded flavorful and most importantly - fast and easy. My husband loves this recipe, and it's joined a handful of fall-back recipes that I use when all else fails.

Hoisin Chicken with Noodles and Green Beans

Ingredients:

2 cups green beans, cut in half

250 grams udon noodles

1/2 cup hoisin sauce

1 small lime, juiced

3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 pound ground chicken or turkey

4 garlic cloves, chopped

Directions:

Bring salted water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add green beans and cook for 10 minutes until tender-crisp. Add noodles to water in last 2 minutes of cooking time. Strain and set aside.

Mix together hoisin sauce, lime juice and chili sauce. Set aside.

In a large frying pan, cook chicken over medium heat until cooked and no longer pink. Add garlic and cook one minute or until softened. Stir in hoisin mixture. Cook until bubbly, sticky and hot. Stir in noodles and green beans. Heat through. Serve immediately.

Notes: I've used both pork and chicken in this recipe, and both were delicious.
