Ingredients for Asian Chicken and Rice Noodles

To start, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 6 chicken breasts

  • 1 lb of rice noodles

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil

  • 1 pound of rice noodles

  • 1 tsp. cilantro

    Sauce:

  • 1 1/2 cups water

  • 1/3 and 2 1/2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar

Instructions for Preparation

Preparing this dish is straightforward and can be accomplished in less than an hour. Begin by cooking the rice noodles according to the package instructions.
