Lemon Pecan Chicken over Konjac Noodles

This is one of my go-to quick meals when I have leftover chicken. I will often throw an extra chicken breast into my pan so that I can repurpose it and make a simple lunch the next day.

Ready in minutes, I serve this lemon pecan chicken over sauteed konjac noodles and it sure hits the spot!

Directions

Rinse the konjac noodles under cold running water for about 1 min. Once rinsed, strain the noodles in a colander and set aside.

In a medium-sized skillet or pan, melt the butter over high heat.

Add the drained konjac noodles to the pan. Sautee them, stirring occasionally, about 5 min or until most of the residual moisture has evaporated.

Reduce the heat to medium-high, and add the remaining ingredients into the pan, mixing well. Continue to sautee, stirring frequently, for another 4-5 min.

Transfer the noodles to a serving dish or bowl, then just enjoy your delightful and quick meal!
