Grilled Chicken Ramen and Broccoli
If you want an inexpensive meal that is delicious and filling, you can't beat this one. Using 1 breast from the batch recipe of Grilled Chicken, half a bag of frozen broccoli, and 2 packs of ramen noodles, you have a delicious meal for 2 or a huge meal for one.
Dress it up with whatever Asian sauces, seasonings, and vegetables that you like. You can serve it with a side of Kimchi or add Kimchi to the ramen noodles.
I cook my broth down to almost nonexistent because I prefer noodles with just a little bit of soup. Make it to your preference and enjoy this all week long.

Grill chicken for 4-6 minutes on each side, turning 90 degrees after about 2-3 minutes to get a nice grill mark. Do this on the other side as well.
When the grill marks are nice and brown, pull the chicken and place it in a Dutch oven or hotel pan. Cover the Dutch oven or hotel pan with a lid or foil.
