This is a quick and easy recipe that I cook for my family all the time. The kids gobble it up in next to no time and usually come back for seconds. This recipe will feed a family of 4 – 5 but if you want it to stretch a little further just add more noodles, vegetables and chicken. This is also a favourite in lunch boxes as my kids will happily eat it cold, so I usually cook enough for dinner and lunches the next day.
