Asian chicken with pasta makes a great dinner that requires no side-dish but of course, you can serve it with egg rolls, fried rice or anything that you like. What is great about this recipe is that it uses boneless chicken thighs instead of breasts. The boneless thighs can be cooked for longer in the wok without becoming dry. The chicken is marinated in ingredients such as soy sauce and oyster sauce and then stir-fried in the pan. The noodles are cooked right in the wok and then mixed with cabbage, carrots, and oyster and soy sauce for even more flavor. Instead of chow mein noodles you can use pre-cooked stir-fry noodles if you want find them. Enjoy.
