Any kind of noodle dish in the Philippines is called “Pancit”. Since this recipe uses noodles, I’ll be referring to the dish as “Chicken Pancit”. The traditional recipe uses pork as seen in this Easy FIlipino Pancit recipe here.
Chicken has a tendency to be dry and bland so I had to come up with a Filipino Pancit recipe that’s tasty. Since I was making Chicken Pancit (Chicken Stir Fry Noodles) for a friend’s birthday, I didn’t want to risk feeding a group of people with a Filipino dish that’s not well received. I came up with the idea of using store bought Rotisserie Chicken. Since the meat is well-seasoned, Bone Broth can be made from the bones, and the noodles will be more flavorful with the broth’s deep and savory flavors. I usually cook this dish for groups, so I made it easier on myself by buying shredded cabbage/coleslaw mix instead of cutting the cabbage by hand.
Tips:
To save time, skip making the Chicken Bone Broth and buy ready made Bone Broth at the store.
If using another type of noodles, read package instructions and adjust bone broth amount accordingly
The traditional way of serving pancit is to top the noodles with the cooked meat and vegetables.

I might need to impress my Filipino friends with this one day! Great that you added such easy instructions for bone broth, it often seems a bit intimidating, but reading this makes me thing anyone can do it. Thank you!
My kids love anything with noodles right now and I’m always looking for new ways to cook them. Can’t wait to try this recipe for our family.
I have never cooked with rice noodles actually so I will have to try this, looks great!
How comforting and perfect to use leftovers too. I really like the cuisine from the Philippines I am Mexican and a lot of the flavor profiles and the love for hot meals we share on our cultures. This stir fry is a must try!
