Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Juice the 2 limes to get 2 tablespoons of lime juice if you haven't done so already.

- Drain and set aside.
- Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add a small amount of oil (optional) and add the sliced chicken breasts.
- Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the coconut milk, salsa sauce, and lime juice.
- Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.
- Add the cooked noodles and chicken back into the pan with the sauce.

- Remove from heat.
- Plate the noodle and chicken mixture.
- Garnish with the chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve the dish with lime wedges on the side or sesame seeds for an extra burst of flavor.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking.
- Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 20 minutes before cooking to make them softer and easier to work with.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
- Adjust the level of salsa sauce to suit your preferred level of spiciness.
- For an additional burst of flavor, garnish the dish with extra coriander leaves and lime wedges before serving.
- Marinating the chicken in coconut milk and lime juice for at least 30 minutes before cooking can enhance the flavor and tenderness.
