Honey Lime Chicken with Simple Sesame Noodles

As an Ag teacher I get to wear many hats- from teacher, coach/advisor, event coordinator and sometimes even chef!  I must confess that sometimes my goals far outweigh what I actually accomplish!  I was reminded of one of those hats this week when one of my students mentioned that she was looking for a recipe for the Simple Sesame Noodles I made for them over the summer-  this chicken is awesome (but make sure you give it enough time to marinade and is best grilled- the smoke flavor adds just the right touch to send it over the edge). Hope you enjoy this simple and delicious Asian inspired meal!  (Round plot out with oven roasted broccoli for an amazing meal!)
