Instructions

Before you begin, ensure that all ingredients are chopped and ready and that your sauce is mixed.
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt/pepper if desired. (Be careful with the salt as the sauce already has a that.) Add the chicken to the pan and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through. Set the chicken aside.
Add all vegetables to the same pan along with the garlic and red pepper flakes. Add the sauce and the thickening mixture. Cook for about 8 minutes, until the vegetables have started to soften. Don’t overcook them as you want their color and texture to remain.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken back in. Sprinkle the basil over the dish and cook for one additional minute. Add the almonds and chow main noodles and serve!
