Chicken with Kelp Noodles
with carrots / coleslaw mix

Active: 25 min Total: 25 min
A rich brown sauce coats the noodles (we recommend using paleo-friendly kelp or yam noodles if you can find them) and vegetables in this one-pan dish that comes together in a flash thanks to pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.
Smarts: If you can't find kelp or yam noodles, use spiralized zucchini "noodles" instead.

  2. Carrots - Chop carrots. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
  3. Rotisserie chicken - (Skip if this was done ahead on Tuesday.) Take meat off the bone and slice with a knife. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)

  5. Kelp or yam noodles - These noodles typically come ready to use after rinsing and draining but check the package instructions just in case your version requires a different preparation. (If using zucchini as a sub, turn zucchini into 'noodles' with a spiralizer or peel off strips with a peeler. Microwave, covered with a damp paper towel until tender, 2 to 3 minutes.)
