Honey Sesame Chicken with Rice Noodles

Dinner was extremely tasty after a difficult day. I've been overwhelmed emotionally this week for whatever reason & sometimes, a new dinner with a good outcome can be so welcome (if only because if the outcome's horrendous, it may be the last straw, then tears would ensue.) I had seen this last month & wanted to make it but am just getting around to it.

The chicken was extremely flavorful & I chose the rice noodles for an Asian flare. It would taste delicious served over rice as well.

The picture does NOT do the meal justice; only wish I had remembered the scallions before I said, "cheese!".
