A rich brown sauce coats the noodles and vegetables in this one-pan dish that comes together in a flash thanks to pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. This is an updated version of a classic Cook Smarts meal that was first featured in 2014.

Bring a saucepan of water to boil. Add soba noodles and cook according to packaged instructions. (Soba noodles don’t take long to cook, so keep an eye out.) Drain.
Whisk together cornstarch and water.
When noodles are nearly finished cooking, heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then carrots. Saute until carrots are nearly tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add coleslaw mix and white parts of green onions and saute for 2 minutes more.
Pour stir-fry sauce over top and bring to a simmer. Add corn starch / water mixture, while stirring. Simmer until sauce has thickened slightly, ~2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in soba noodles and juice from one of the lime wedges. Add rotisserie chicken slices on top.
Serve chicken soba noodles with green parts of green onions on top and lime wedges and hot sauce on the side to use as garnishes. Enjoy!
