- Remove the chicken breasts and set aside.
- Add the noodles, and leave to cook for a further 20 minutes on high. (Different noodles will need to cook for longer).

Notes
- This recipe can be made with leftover chicken too, just add the chicken at the same time you add the noodles, it only needs reheating, since it's already cooked.
- Any other leftover meat can be used instead of chicken, beef, pork, ham, and so on. I do prefer the chicken for this classic recipe though.
- I used really thin noodles, which didn't require a long cooking time, but depending on the type of noodles you use, you might have to cook them for longer if they are thicker.
- Other vegetables that go well here are peppers or any colour or greens, the more vegetables, the better, as they add a lot of flavours and goodness.
