This is one of those family recipes that E V E R Y O N E loves, but is often forgot about. And then I remember it, make it again and its on the menu for months in a row. Its delicious, full of different fresh deep flavors, and very easy. All the key ingredients for family meals. I should add healthy too. It's gluten free and can easily be vegetarian. So- there you have it- the perfect meal no matter who you are serving.
This is one of those meals where you prep and dump. It's important to make the sauce (and have it simmering away), noodles, chop all your veggies, chicken and herbs ready to throw in the pan. It cooks up much like a stir fry. I recently was sent this Copper Chef to test and try out. I have really loved it, especially for my quick family meals. It cooks evenly, hot, and is totally non-stick! I also love its size! The tall wall allows me to cook big meals, but its not too large or cumbersome...or heavy!

This sauce is gooooold. It's nice and creamy!!

Just a question, the directions to cook the chicken say to Use the chili sauce but it only lists the chili sauce in the ingredient list. Also, when do you add The lime Juice?
Cianutsballduckti says
I think I meant to write extra virgin olive oil not chili sauce- I've corrected the recipe card.
