Funky Chicken With Sesame Noodles
RECIPE BY: Mirj
This has to be one of the most amazing chicken dishes I have ever made or eaten. It's really scary to watch people just attack this dish and practically inhale it in one breath. Brush up on your Heimlich Maneuver, people do get a little over-enthusiastic over this. Prep time includes marinating time.

I am a huge fan of sesame oil but a little goes a long way. I didn't hate this but got half way through my plate and was totally over the sesame flavor and threw it away. Too much of a good thing and that was using the 1/4 c of sesame oil. If I make this again I'll cut the sesame oil down to a couple tablespoons.

I made this after work for our dinner so I didn't have time to let the chicken breasts marinade for hours. I sliced the raw chicken into thin strips for a faster marinade and marinaded them for about 45 minutes. The smaller chicken pieces with a shorter marinade time worked well. It was a quick meal to prepare. The recipe is well written and easy to follow. Personally, I thought the meal was pretty good. Not great, but not bad and would have given it four stars. However, the other family members did not like the noodles at all. They liked the chicken, but just couldn't eat the noodles. When I asked them why, one said they were too sweet and another said he didn't like the taste of the sesame oil and he hated the seeds in it because they caught in his teeth and gums. I guess I will not be making it again so that makes it a 3 star recipe.

We loved both the chicken & the noodles. I used lo mein noodles from the local oriental market & added a bag of asian stir-fry veggies that I steamed. It really added a lot to the noodles. A very easy to make meal with a lot of flavor. I will definately be making again. Thank you!

Oh Mirj, I can't even tell you how much we loved this. You were so right about the inhaling part, lol! First off, I marinated the chicken. I added about 1 TBSP of sesame oil to the marinade, because I wanted to saute the chicken in olive oil. I also cut the chicken breast into fillets for faster cooking. When making the noodles, I realized I had no green onions, so I subbed shallots--worked just fine sliced nice and thin. Very easy dish with great flavor results. I had to take the bowl of noodles off the table to stop my husband from eating it. I also halved the recipe. Just delicious! Thanks for sharing!
