This is such a great recipe, easy, filling, and fairly inexpensive.  All 3 of my kids LOVED it, which is so great- one meal that everyone is happy with.  I found it in my 2001 Cooking Light cookbook.  I adapted it a little, so I'm posting it the way I made it.  If you try it, let me know what you think!!
1 reg. foil oven bag (or aluminum foil)            1 pound chicken, cut into bite-size pieces
 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce                                      1 cup chicken broth
1 T sugar                                                              2 t cornstarch
2 packages chicken flavored ramen noodles   1/2 t oil
4 cups broccoli florets ( I steam these for about 5 minutes beforehand so they will be tender, not crunchy)
1 pkg. mushrooms, sliced                                   1 8 oz can water chestnuts, drained (optional)
Preheat oven to 475.
Place bag (or roll out foil) onto shallow baking dish.  Combine teriyaki and sugar in a plastic bag, add chicken, and marinate for at least 2 hours.  Remove chicken, reserve marinade.  Combine reserved marinade, broth, cornstarch, oil, and 1 packet of flavoring from noodles. Stir well.  Break each noodle package into 4 pieces.  Place noodles in bag/aluminum foil.  Pour broth mixture over noodles. Add broccoli, mushrooms, water chestnuts, and chicken (try and spread this out- the thinner your layers, the faster it cooks and the more tender it is)  Seal bag, or cover w/ more aluminum foil and seal sides.  Bake at 475 for 30 minutes.  Great with bread and fruit salad!!

I am all over this for next week!
Thanks.
Sounds delish. Too bad RR doesn't like broccoli. That rules out so many dishes for us!
Amanda- you could easily make this w/out the broccoli (abby doesn't eat it either) or just put it on half and it wouldn't touch his part!!
