Chicken Stir Fry over Rice Noodles

Stir fry is extremely easy and quick to make at home and you get to choose the ingredients. No need for a wok, a skillet will work just fine. Rice noodles are delicate and add a restaurant quality touch to the dish, which are extremely easy to make and are available in most grocery stores. They are also gluten free. This meal is gluten free as long as you check the labels to confirm. Be careful when choosing a soy sauce, because many contain wheat, so again check labels. There are several brands that are gluten-free. Baked Won Ton Strips are being used to top off the entrée, so make sure you have the ingredients it calls for.
