Cayenne Chicken and Noodles

Submitted by PrincessPage

"I've been making this dish for nearly 20 years. Never thought I'd be old enough to type something like that... The original idea came from my ruining a recipe by mistaking paprika and red pepper in the pantry. It was so hot we cried. But the flavor beneath was great. After a little trial and error, this is what was left."
