Saucy chicken on a bed of fried crunchy vermicelli noodles, does it get any better than that? This is a copycat recipe is inspired by PF Chang's. If you've ever had their version then you know how amazing they are!

We don't have a PF Chang's in Canada, but when I was younger and travelled to the states frequently it was my go to. I haven't eaten there in years but suddenly craved it the other day, which led to this!

Their secret ingredient is water chestnuts! It adds such a nice crunch and texture to the chicken. I will definitely be incorporating them in to more recipes.
