Instructions
Boil noodles

- Add hot noodles and shredded chicken to the sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
- Add cheese
- Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle shredded Colby Jack cheese on top.
Broil or microwave
- Broil for 2-4 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden, or microwave for 30 seconds to melt.
Serve
- Let cool slightly and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra heat, add more sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time or substitute with tofu for a vegetarian option.
- Broiling cheese adds a nice crispy texture, but microwaving is a quick alternative.
- Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to boost nutrition.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat gently to avoid drying out.
