What to do with leftover grilled chicken?

We have had a super busy summer!  The best part of it is we have been to a couple of international markets or stores.  It's always fun to use new ingredients when cooking!  Here's a recipe for Asian noodles and chicken.  We went to City Market in Kansas City earlier in the summer and I bought the noodles and sauce at the Chinese grocery store.  You can also find similar items in your local grocery store.  This was a great dish for Celia and Charlie to practice using chopsticks with.

Asian Noodles and Chicken
Ingredients:
3 Cups Cooked Chicken, Chopped
1/3 Large Onion, Diced
2 Small Zuchinnis, Chopped
2 Cups Frozen Stir-Fry Veggies
1 1/2 Cups Korean BBQ Sauce/Marinade
2 Sheets Rice Noodles

1. Chop and prepare all ingredients before starting to cook.  In a large wok or frying pan, start to cook onions in a thin layer of olive oil.  Cook for 2 minutes on high.
2. Add zuchinni and veggies to onions and cook for 3 minutes.  Add sauce and chicken and cook covered on medium heat for 5 minutes.  Stirring occasionally.
3. While cooking chicken, heat a large bowl of water in the microwave.  When warm, place rice noodles in bowl.  Soak for 2 minutes or until soft.  Drain water and cut noodles several times with kitchen scissors.  Add noodles to pan and mix together with veggies and sauce.  Cook until sauce thickens and serve immediately.  Serves 4-6.
