Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Can freeze for up to three months, but omit noodles when freezing to prevent them from becoming mushy upon reheating. For added flavor, use fresh vegetables like carrots and celery. Rotisserie chicken can be used for faster preparation.
