Instructions

- Place in a pot of boiling water, boil for 20 minutes, or until they reach a suitable texture.
- As the noodles are boiling, prepare your vegetables:
- Thinly slice the onion. Slice pepper into thin strips. Slice Zucchini into ¼" slices, then cut them in half. Cut broccoli up into small florets. Thinly slice the carrot, slice the mushrooms into ¼" slices. Set vegetables aside.
- In a small bowl, mix the shredded cheese with the xanthan gum. Make sure the xanthan gum is well distributed over the cheese shreds, set aside.
- In a medium sauce pan, melt butter. Add heavy cream, bring just up to a simmer.
- Add cheese to the heavy cream, continue stirring until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste, reduce heat to low.
- In a large fry pan or wok, cook chicken in olive oil until browned on all sides. Add onion and garlic, continue cooking until onion goes translucent and chicken is cooked.
- Add rest of vegetables, saute JUST until warm. You don't want them to actually cook through or go soft.
