noodle stir fry

last week when we were deciding what to have for dinner and i said i was craving stir fry, husband said yes...but asked could i try it with noodles instead of rice? 
umm, good call husband. maybe you should be the chef. i used our favorite brown noodles from costco, then made the stir fry veggies, chicken, sauce, and added noodles in. 
i am not exaggerating when i say that chase went back for FOURTHS. it is so good! 
here is the simple recipe i use...you can make it with noodles or rice!

noodle stir fry

ingredients
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into small pieces
2 garlic cloves {finely chopped}
2-3 cups vegetables {broccoli, carrots, water chestnuts, anything}
1 package noodles {or 2 cups rice}

--for the sauce--
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 minced garlic clove
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons water

directions
1. spray a 12-inch nonstick skillet pan. heat over medium-high heat. add chopped chicken and garlic to taste. turn chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes, until it is brown. {alternatively, i cook chicken in large amounts at a time and then cut and freeze, so when i make this i just thaw & heat it on the skillet with garlic.}
2. add vegetables {i use whatever i have fresh on hand, or i use my frozen costco bag of veggies}
3. mix up stir fry sauce in a separate pan by dissolving cornstarch in water, then combining all ingredients and pouring over simmering chicken and veggies. stir until sauce is thickened.
4. add noodles {or rice if you prefer} and stir until well combined.
enjoy!
