Ingredients

  • 2 whole chicken breast
  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 1 whole orange
  • 3 stalks green onions
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 2 chicken breasts and cook until no longer pink inside, about 15 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly, then shred with two forks.

  2. 2

    In the same pot of boiling water, cook the 8 oz egg noodles according to package directions until tender, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1 tbsp honey until combined.

  4. 4

    Peel the 1 orange and slice it into thin rounds. Thinly slice the 3 green onions, separating white and green parts.

  5. 5

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked noodles, orange slices, and white parts of the green onions. Pour the dressing over and toss gently to coat.

  6. 6

    Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and serve chilled or at room temperature.
