Stir-fry the vegetables until they are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
-
Remove the cooked vegetables from the pan and set aside on a plate.
-
Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in the same wok over high heat.

Add the chicken pieces to the wok and stir-fry until the meat is white throughout but still juicy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Remove the chicken from the pan and place it on the plate with the vegetables.
-
Add the butter to the wok and heat over medium-high heat until melted.
-
Add the uncooked egg noodles to the wok and cook, tossing constantly to coat them in the butter, for about 1 minute.

Return the chicken and vegetables to the wok with the noodles.
-
Pour in the chicken broth, dry sherry, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.

Bring the mixture to a boil.

Note
Ensure the chicken is cut into bite-sized pieces for even cooking and easier stirring.
If you prefer gluten-free noodles, substitute the egg noodles with rice noodles or quinoa, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
Dry sherry adds a distinct nutty flavor; if unavailable, you can substitute with dry white wine or additional chicken broth with a splash of lemon juice.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water or broth to restore moisture.
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or garlic to the initial vegetable stir-fry.
