- Heat a wok or large saute pan with the oil over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook on each side for about 3 minutes or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Set the chicken aside on a plate. Add the oil from the stir fry into the pan. Over medium/high heat, add in the green onion and saute for about 2 minutes.

Notes
I used a gluten free soba noodle, but brown rice, white rice or even spaghetti noodles all work!
