Preparation

Step 1

The day before serving, rinse the chicken and pat dry. Place in a bowl.

Combine the next 8 ingredients to make a marinade; toss with the chicken to coat.

Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, or overnight.

Thirty minutes before cooking, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Arrange the chicken in a large, shallow roasting pan and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Pour the marinade over the chicken.

Bake the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through, basting frequently, 20 to 25 minutes minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Turn off the heat and stir in the rice noodles. Let soak until tender, about 7 minutes.

Drain, rinse under warm water, and drain again.

Divide the noodles between 4 bowls.

Slice chicken breasts and place 1 breast in each bowl. Spoon the pan sauce over the top.

Garnish with scallions and serve immediately.
