Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cooked then shredded (or sliced thinly)
  • 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni pasta
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 medium carrots sliced diagonally
  • 2 stalks celery sliced diagonally
  • 10 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • ½ head small cabbage coarsely chopped
  • 1 can evaporated milk (12 oz)
  • Green onions chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Boil the chicken breasts until tender and cooked. When cool enough to handle, shred with a fork or with your hands. Retain the liquid where it was boiled (if not using chicken broth). Strain if necessary and set aside.
  • Boil enough water for the pasta. Cook the macaroni al dente (not mushy, still retaining some bite). While waiting for the pasta water to boil, prepare the vegetables.
  • In a large pan, heat the oil. Saute the onions, garlic, celery, and carrots until the onions become translucent and the vegetables are tender (about 5 minutes). Season with a little salt and pepper.
  • Stir in the shredded chicken. Add the broth (or water). Season with some fish sauce (if using) or just more salt (to taste).
  • Bring to a boil. Add the cabbage, cooked macaroni, and evaporated milk, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or just until the cabbage leaves are soft. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Ladle into bowls. Garnish with some chopped green onions if you wish. Enjoy!
