Add chicken and saute' until cooked, about 5 minutes. Add the noodles, tomatoes and bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring ingredients until noodles are well-coated in sauce and entire dish is well-mixed.

*Note: This particular recipe is REALLY spicy. To vary the amount of spice, just use fewer or more chilies. For a really mild dish, substitute 2 tbsp chili powder for the chilies.
