- Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add chicken and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through. Drain and cool until easily handled; cut into cubes.
- Mix chicken with coriander in a bowl.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to the boil. Cook noodles, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain.
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken; cover and cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Pour 3/4 of the stock into the same pan; add mangetout, cover and cook until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Return chicken to the pan. Stir in remaining stock and lemon juice; cover and simmer until flavours combine, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve chicken over pasta. Garnish with chopped scallions.

This is pretty good. I sautéed the chicken with the onion and added some hot peppers and ginger. I also added some green cauliflower. Serve over rice noodles for a gluten free alternative. thank you for the recipe. - 14 Jun 2016 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Chicken in a small amount of chicken broth, cover and powch. Then cube etc. I do like hot peppers. - 03 Oct 2016 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Pretty bland & unexciting. I didn't read the reviews until afterward and I realize that a lot of the positive reviewers drastically changed the recipe. I couldn't really taste the coriander or the lemon. We added some red pepper and a little parmesan to give it some sort of flavor. On a positive - our small kids loved it. - 14 Apr 2017 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
