Sesame Szechuan Chicken Noodles

I just made this for dinner tonight for the first time, and it was amazing, it only took me about 20 - 25 minutes to make and it was so delicious! I got the recipe off the net, but made a lot of changes to the recipe. If you were to make this for a group of 4 people, you could be expected to pay no more than $8.00 for the amount of ingredients for the entire meal. Where I live, I was able to make the entire thing for $4.00! What a cheap and extremely tasty meal! No more than $2.00 a person! You can't go wrong with a cheap meal like that and it was very good. I hope you all enjoy it! :)

Makes 4 servings.

1 lbs. diced chicken breast
