Spicy Minute Chicken w/Cake Noodles

A quintessential dish that my favorite neighborhood restaurant serves over cake noodle. A very easy dish to prepare with no time on your hands. I always make sure I have these pantry items on hand always. Feel free to use bone in chicken, similar to how most restaurants prepare this dish.
