Ingredients
- ¼ small onion, peeled (20g)
- ¼ medium carrot, peeled (30g)

Slice the onion and carrots. Dice the chicken.
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until starting to brown.
Add the onion, carrots and sweetcorn – cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the water, simmer for 5 minutes
Finally, break the noodles up a little and add to the pan. Simmer for a further 5 to 10 minutes until the chicken, vegetables and noodles are cooked. Add a little water during cooking if needed.
Mash or blend until smooth (with soft lumps). Put quarter of the noodles in a bowl, and allow to cool a little before serving with a spoon or fork.
Use frozen sweetcorn instead of tinned if preferred. Remember fresh, frozen, tinned, dried and juiced fruit and vegetables all count towards your 5 A Day.
