This noodle stir fry is loaded with chicken, colorful veggies, and the best savory sauce. It couldn’t be faster or easier to throw together for a quick weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 8 oz rice noodles
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced into very thin strips
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

Instructions

- While the noodles are cooking, heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken and let cook for 3-4 minutes or until cooked almost all the way through.
