  1. To prepare chicken: Thaw chicken in cooler overnight or until fully thawed.

  2. To prepare sauce: Pour hot water into mixing container. Pour contents of both packages of Sauce Mix into water while vigorously stirring with a wire whisk. Continue stirring until mix is dissolved and sauce is smooth. Set aside.

  3. Divide chicken and peppers evenly among three full size steamtable pans. Pour sauce evenly over chicken and peppers.

  4. Place in 350°F convection oven 15 - 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

While noodles are cooking, add contents of Noodle Seasoning packets to 3 qt hot water. Mix well and let sauce sit at least 5 minutes. Pour sauce over noodles and toss to coat. Sauce will absorb into noodles. Divide noodles equally among 3 half pans for service.
