Rice noodles with chicken
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I'll say right away: I really love glass noodles and often prepare them simply with vegetables, sometimes with mushrooms, but for some reason this version with chicken feels festive to me, even though there's nothing unusual about it. Cooking rice noodles with chicken is very easy, but to make the dish truly aromatic and flavorful, you should also add vegetables. According to traditional recipes, chicken is fried with onion and cucumber, but I find this combination questionable, so I replace the cucumber with bell pepper. The result is very, very tasty. The beautiful yellow and red pepper pieces caramelize while frying in the pan, creating a delicious crust on the chicken. Serve hot.

Meanwhile, cook the glass noodles. Rice noodles cook very quickly; pour boiling water over them, cover with a lid, and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir once during this time. Drain the cooked noodles in a colander and rinse under running water.
