Chicken Kelp Noodles
with carrots / coleslaw mix
A rich brown sauce coats the noodles (use kelp or yam noodles for this paleo-friendly version) and vegetables in this one-pan dish, which comes together in a flash thanks to pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. This is a classic Cook Smarts recipe that was most recently featured in 2017.
