I'm not a big fan of bell peppers, so I left them out of the recipe. The dish was still really good without them.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some leftover chicken in my fridge, so this is a perfect recipe for me.

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

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices to it.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
