Notes

If you are adding chicken, make sure it's sliced nice and thin so it cooks quickly. Rice noodles will cook faster than linguine, so keep that in mine of you sub them.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. While this dish is best enjoyed fresh, you can reheat it gently with a splash of water to restore moisture.
