Ingredients2 skinless chicken breasts
1 c. noodles (use those made without egg yolks, if possible)

Mrs. Dash, black pepper and garlic to taste
Preparation:
Cut chicken in bite size pieces. Put in soup pot with quart of water. Add the finely chopped onion and simmer for 20 minutes. Add noodles, rice and seasonings. Cover and simmer for 20 more minutes.
