Notes
[‘Use chicken thighs for extra flavor and moisture.’, ‘Keep an eye on the noodles during the final stage to prevent them from turning mushy.’, ‘Use a hand mixer on low speed for quick and easy shredding of chicken.’, ‘Double the recipe and freeze leftovers for a quick meal later.’, ‘Add a splash of chicken broth if the noodles soak up too much liquid.’]
