Honey Sriracha Chicken and Noodles |
Craving something quick cooked and spicy for dinner last night, I used it in this quickly stir-fried chicken recipe. Super fast Chinese noodles are always a favorite at our house and the fact that they cook in only 3 to 4 minutes makes them ideal to serve with quick stir fries like this one. Twenty minutes is all it took to have this flavorful meal on the table.
