If you’re starting with raw chicken, season with salt and pepper and grill for 7-8 minutes on both sides. Let cool before shredding. Tip: We’ll usually just start with leftover cooked chicken or store-bought rotisserie chicken for this recipe (I know, kinda cheating).

Step 1

Soak noodles in warm water (but not hot water) and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 ½ cups of chicken broth in the microwave for one (1) minute.

Step 3

Remove broth from microwave, add the ahciote powder and stir until fully mixed. You should get a nice red color.

Step 4

Slice green onions and garlic.

Step 5

In a large wok or pot over medium heat, add the olive oil and butter.

Step 6

When the butter is melted, add the garlic and about half of the green onions (we’ll add the rest later). Cook until garlic is translucent.

Step 7

Add the achiote-broth mixture to the wok/pot.

Step 8

Once the broth is hot, add the chicken and stir to completely coat the chicken with the achiote-broth mixture.

Step 9

Discard the water that the noodles are soaking in and add noodles to the wok. Stir constantly to get a good color on the noodles.

Step 10

Add salt and pepper to taste. Top with rest of the green onions.

Last Step!

Enjoy!
