Recipe Wednesday - Sesame Noodles with Grilled Chicken

I wish I could remember where I got this recipe so I could give proper acknowledgment. I came across it years ago and I l.o.v.e it.

Sesame Noodles with Grilled Chicken

Ingredients...

...used for chicken:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp fresh ginger, chopped
4-5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
sesame oil

...used for noodles:
1 lb spaghetti
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sesame oil
1/3 cup sugar
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup or more sesame seeds (optional, but a nice touch)

Directions:

Chicken:
Mix marinade ingredients and toss with chicken. Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add chicken in batches. Sauté 10 mins or so until done, add in more oil as needed. Remove from pan and cool slightly. Slice on the diagonal into thin strips. Keep warm. Serve chicken over sesame noodles.
(I usually cut the chicken into bite sized pieces before I mix it with the marinade.)

Noodles:
Prepare spaghetti according to package directions; drain. In a jar, shake together the soy sauce, oil & sugar. Pour over pasta & toss with remaining ingredients.

If you have leftovers (great leftovers!) make sure it all gets a good stir to coat evenly.
