Vietnamese Chicken Noodles

With all of the great Vietnamese noodle places in the Duke City, I thought that I would attempt to make one of my favorite dishes - grilled chicken served over a bed of Vietnamese (in this case Chinese) rice noodles. I was surprised how easy and great my version of the food was! This is definitely an easy meal to make at home and it will save you $$ while giving you the satisfaction knowing you made the this food with love.

To make this dish, you will need the following:

• 1 lb chicken skinless bonless thigh
• 1 package Vietnamese or Chinese vermicilli
• 1 jalapeno
• 1 bunch cilantro
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1/2 cup white/yellow onion
• 2 tbs fish sauce
• 3 tbs brown sugar
• 1 cup lime juice
• 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

1. Marinate the chicken thighs with cilantro, olive oil and 1/4 cup lime juice. After the chicken is done getting tasty, cook on grill until done. 
2. While the chicken is cooking, boil the vermicelli for a few minutes until done. Rinse the vermicelli when done.
3. Sautee bell peppers and onions in EVOO
4. Place sliced chicken and vegetables on top of noodles and garnish with jalapeno and cilantro
5. To make the dressing, combine fish sauce, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup lime juice and add sugar to taste. Pour on noodles and that's it!
