Ingredients

2x Cooked, diced chicken breast.

2x Egg noodles or noodles of your choice.

1x Medium carrot cut into match sticks.

2x Bell peppers cut into strips.

4 or 5 button mushrooms cut into quarters.

2x tbsp Honey.

1x tbsp Soy sauce.

Coriander leaves roughly chopped for garnish.

Toasted sesame seeds for garnish.

1. Cook the noodles as per manufacturer’s instructions.
2. In a hot wok or pan add 1 tbsp of oil and fry off the chicken.
3. Add the carrot, peppers and mushrooms to the chicken and continue to stir fry.
4. Add the honey and soy sauce. It should be bubbling now and reducing slightly.
5. Add the drained noodles and stir through the chicken mix.
6. Serve in bowls and garnish with the toasted sesame seeds and coriander.
7. Enjoy.

If you like it a little spicy try drizzling some sweet chilli sauce over the top when serving or adding to the stir fry with the honey and soy sauce during the cooking process.
