Preparation

Step 1

In a large pan heat 2 Tbsp of oil. Once hot add the cubed chicken and brown on all sides.
Toss the chicken with 1 cup of chopped carrots and 1 cup of chicken broth. Simmer on medium heat for 5-8 minutes. Follow the directions on the package of rice noodles to prepare them.
When the carrots have softened a little, add the zucchini and simmer sauce to the pan.
Stir to combine and coat everything in the pan. Cook to the tenderness you prefer. If you like soft vegetables, allow to simmer 15-20 minutes. If you like a crisper taste 10 minutes.
When the chicken and vegetables are cooked to your taste, toss in the rice noodles, making sure they are coated in the sauce. Be aware that rice noodles break down quickly so do not add until the last moment.
