Sweet-and-Sour Chicken-Noodle Bowl image

In this refreshing noodle bowl dinner, crunchy mix-ins like carrots, cabbage, and cucumbers are tossed with a sweet and tangy mixture of lime juice, sweet chili sauce, and ginger. Thin rice noodles and leftover sliced roast chicken, or meat from a rotisserie chicken, make this a filling meal that's perfect for a warm evening on the patio or packed up for a picnic.
