Ensure the skillet is hot enough before adding the chicken to achieve a nice sear.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cook Chicken<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Add the cubed chicken breasts to the skillet. Stir occasionally, making sure the chicken cooks evenly. Cook until the chicken is golden on all sides and no longer pink in the middle, about 5-7 minutes.

Be careful not to overcook the noodles to prevent them from becoming mushy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Garnish and Enjoy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Serve immediately, garnishing with additional fresh basil or parsley.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Nutrition Facts<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calories 323 | Calories from Fat 171 | Fat 19g | Saturated Fat 3g | Trans Fat 1g | Cholesterol 73 mg | Sodium 419 mg | Potassium 948 mg | Carbohydrates 11g | Fiber 2g | Sugar 5g | Protein 28g | Vitamin A 1658 IU | Vitamin C 48 mg | Calcium 93mg | Iron 2mg<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dropping pounds by the dozens without putting yourself through the wringer is everyone\u2019s weight loss pipe dream.
