Stir Fried Chicken & Macaroni Salad image

This has been in my recipe collection for many years, on a piece of paper that was torn in half long ago. I think it's time to save it here. It's a very healthy and tasty meal that I've always enjoyed.

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
3/4 lb fresh green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 cup water
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
8 ounces uncooked small shell pasta (shells, elbows, etc.)
15 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta, and drain well.
  • Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add green beans and 1/4 teaspoons salt. Cook and stir until beans are coated and hot. Add water. Stir-fry until beans are crisp-tender. Remove from skillet.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet. Add chicken, ginger, remaining salt and cook/stir until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from heat.
  • Combine pasta, kidney beans, green beans, chicken, soy sauce and lime juice.
  • Serve hot or cold. It's great both ways.
