Notes

To store leftovers, place the chicken and noodles in an airtight container. It can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of water or broth to keep the noodles from drying out. You can warm it in the microwave or on the stove. Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it juicy. Feel free to add vegetables, like peas or spinach, to the noodles for extra nutrients. If you want some spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking the garlic.
