  14. Remove from heat, garnish with green onions and red pepper flakes if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

 
 
Egg noodles work best, but rice noodles or spaghetti can be substituted.
For a crockpot version, cook chicken with sauce ingredients on LOW for 4–5 hours, shred, then stir in cooked noodles.
Add vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
Adjust sweetness or saltiness to taste before serving.
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
