Boil the noodles

Cook the chicken
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 2 to 3 min. per side, until cooked through.
Combine the noodles

- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until the noodles are coated and combined.
Plate your dish
