Quick and Easy Gluten Free Recipe

I found this recipe for Ginger Chicken Noodle Bowls in a copy of Coastal Living magazine recently and adapted it to be gluten free. I love how simple and fast it is. They suggest using pre-cut or pre-sliced vegetables to make keep your prep time short but I love to chop veggies! So I used my own and it only added a few minutes to the total prep time plus you can use whatever you have on hand.

This makes at least 4 servings. I had enough leftovers for lunch the next day, too.
