Do you ever cook a chicken and have meat left over?
This recipe is great for using these left overs and if you do not have any, start from scratch by boiling some thighs or chicken breasts until JUST done. Be careful not to overcook breasts as they become dry.
In this recipe I have used left overs, and I have also used nuts which can be left out if your children do not eat them.
The sauce virtually disappears as you cook the meal leaving a tasty flavour throughout the chicken and noodles.
