Chicken Pancit Medley is an easy chicken pancit recipe that I made using 2 types of noodles: bihon (also known as rice sticks) and sotanghon (also called green bean thread). This dish is quick and easy to make and it is also budget-friendly.
The chicken meat that I used from this pancit recipe was from the leg quarters. I use chicken leg quarters most of the time for dishes such as this because it is cheaper and tasty too. I started by boiling the chicken in water. This process totally cooked the chicken and made it tender – as a bonus, chicken stock was produced in the process. This means that we saved more money because we do not need to buy chicken stock to make our pancit.
I tried to make this dish simple by using less veggie. Celery, carrot, cabbage, and parsley are all that we need. These vegetables were prepared beforehand by stir-frying. If you do not prefer to stir-fry the vegetables, you can also blanch it. You can learn more about blanching vegetables by referring to our Pancit Canton Recipe.
Before you start to cook, make sure that you soak the noodles in water first. Do this by filling a large mixing bowl or even a large cooking pot with tap water. Put the noodles in and soak for 10 minutes. The noodles will absorb the water, thus making it softer and easier to cook later on.
