A recent dinner time favorite for my parents and I alike is chicken stir fry, it is so simply prepared and the ingredients are cheap enough to have this meal for multiple days. So, in essence, if you are on a budget and need to get your Americanized eastern culture food fix this is your meal.
To start you will need 2 raw thawed chicken breasts from wherever you like (if you want the authentic hyden family feel I'd suggest wal-mart and price match the breast for 99 cents a poun. just to put you in character)
next you will need farm fresh garlic, brocolli and if you are feeling adventurous diced onions.
finally you will need noodles. There's no specific noodles just go for the ones on sale (again to get in character, this is how the family recipe was made.
skillet fry the chicken on medium heat until golden brown and add a pinch of garlic to the mix for safe measure, then start boiling your noodles while steaming your vegetables in your microwave. Now here's the tricky part, my family's oven never really worked correctly so taste testing is the ONLY way to be sure about the food. If I had a guess i'd say 1;45 on the vegetables.
finally put the mix all in a large serving bowl a slosh around until you smell the scents rise up to your nose holes and please your brain. for added effect i've found that dumping mass amounts of any sort of off brand Chinese stir fry sauce to really give it that cheap Chinese take out feel.
Simple
almost delicious
but not so delicious
there you have it folks, all the ingredients for Alex Hydens "get through college on 10$ this week" stir fry
