Chicken Vermicelli image

This recipe comes from Holly Clegg's Trim and Terrific Freezer Friendly Meals. This actually turned out to be a much lighter version of a family favorite that used a whole stick of butter! Comfort type food that can be made ahead for a quick meal! You can use leftover chicken or purchase a rotisserie chicken from your local deli. The original recipe called for 1/2 cup roasted red peppers which we omitted for family preference. Mushrooms would be a nice addition!

This recipe was a disaster. The sauce was way too sweet and the chicken was tough. I won't be making this again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken vermicelli turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the chicken.

I found this recipe to be a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of soy sauce next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't add enough seasoning. Next time I'll add more garlic and ginger.

This was a great weeknight meal. It came together quickly and easily, and the whole family loved it. Even my picky eater cleaned his plate!

I'm not a huge fan of vermicelli, but this dish changed my mind. The noodles are perfectly cooked and the sauce is flavorful without being too heavy. I'll definitely be making this again.

This chicken vermicelli is a keeper! It's so easy to make and the flavors are spot-on. I especially love the addition of the bean sprouts and peanuts - they add a nice crunch and freshness to the dish.
