Spicy Sesame Noodles with Roasted Chicken

I had leftover roasted chicken to use up so I decided to make a spicy sesame noodle dish with chicken, carrots, bell pepper, fresh basil, and cilantro. I made a sesame and soy dressing that made this dish extra tasty. This recipe was so quick and simple to make - perfect for a busy weekday dinner. My entire family loved this recipe and we gobbled up every last bite.

Cook the spaghetti per instructions. Drain then return to the pan along with the chicken, bell peppers, carrots, green onions, and the sauce; toss until the noodles, chicken, and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce.
