Step 1
Slice the 1 lb chicken thighs into bite-size pieces. Cook in a large skillet over medium-high until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
While chicken cooks, boil the 8 oz noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the 1 sliced zucchini and 1 julienned carrot. Stir-fry over medium-high until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
Step 4
Return chicken to the skillet. Add the 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sesame oil, and 1 tbsp sugar. Stir to coat everything.
Step 5
Add the cooked noodles and toss with the sauce and vegetables until well combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Slice the 3 green onions and sprinkle over the top along with sesame seeds if you have them. Serve hot.
