Open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid. Season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

Top with mushrooms, pickled carrots (draining first), and seasoned cucumber in separate sections. • Sprinkle everything with peanuts and drizzle with as much sweet chili soy sauce as you like. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side. **Top noodles with shrimp or chicken along with veggies.** ***Shrimp are fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.***
