This recipe is from Martha Stewart & it was very tasty! Nicely seasoned chicken sautéed & then served over cold rice noodles & vegetables!
This is very quick to make because most of the vegetables are sliced & served fresh… I sautéed a red pepper after cooking the chicken in the same pan. The noodles are soaked in hot water until soft… I used a potato starch noodle but you can use a rice noodle… or any instant noodle you prefer.
There is a marinade to make first, then the chicken is marinated for about 30 minutes or longer & you can prepare the rest of the ingredients while the chicken is marinating.
Here it the recipe I only added a sautéed pepper & changed the type of noodle I used from the original recipe.
