I love this recipe so much! I made it for family and friends and they loved it as well! I will next time add another jalapeno and cilantro as well as add more chicken so it is more proportioned! The different flavors are so wonderful!

I used shredded chicken from the crock pot instead, but it was a little drier than rotisserie chicken probably would have been. I removed the seeds from the jalepeno because I was cooking for a pickier crowd, but everyone still enjoyed the dish! I have never cooked soba noodles before and they ended up sticking together, so I would recommend tossing with the sesame and soy right after you cook them. Other than that, delicious!!
