Spicy Asian Noodles with Chicken

I think that all food bloggers, if not anyone who cooks has their "stack" of recipes they want to try.  It just grows and grows, you can never get through them all.  This recipe was in that stack.  I printed it almost 2 years ago.  It has been on the menu more than once, but then we got busy or just felt like something different, so it never got made.  Finally I put my foot down.  We were having it no matter what.  Really wish I wouldn't have waited so long - it was great!  It will get made again for sure!  It came together really fast, and was super easy!  It may look like a long list of ingredients, but it really is quick and easy!
