Mom Pro Tip: This is a SUPER easy recipe to make – I marinated the chicken in the morning so that it was ready by dinnertime. The rest of the noodle bowl assembly is very quick and easy.
For The Tiny Humans: We gave them some of the sliced veggies & pieces of the chicken thighs that weren’t too spicy from the marinade and they LOVED.
