Notes

  • For the chicken, simply shred any leftover rotisserie chicken or poached chicken breast. Or you can make it from scratch following the instructions for shredded chicken here.
  • I used egg noodles but almost any noodles or long pasta will work for this recipe.
  • If you cannot find seedless cucumber, you may use normal cucumber - simply remove the seeds before julienning. You can of course leave the seeds in too if that’s your preference!
  • Feel free to substitute maple syrup with any other sweetener of choice to make this dish sugar-free.
