Shanghai Noodle Chicken

I love  Chinese noodle stir-and-fries but we don't go out to eat much so  I thought, why not make it at home. It's really not hard to do at all and it's quickly to throw together.  Once the vegies are prepped and the chicken ready to go, the whole supper it can be ready a table in minutes. 

I like to wash and slice vegetable ahead of time and set them in the fridge until I'm ready for cooking.  That way everything is ready and supper is done in no time.
