Variations

For more protein, use 1½ lb chicken thighs instead of 1 lb and take the soy sauce up to ¼ cup.
To load it with vegetables, add 2 cups small broccoli florets, a sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup shredded carrots and 1 cup snap peas; serves 3 to 4.
For dairy free, use plant butter, oat barista cream, and a vegan parmesan. The sauce holds, but it loses the parmesan sharpness.

Notes

Slice the chicken before nestling it over the noodles if you want cleaner portions and faster serving. Udon can be swapped for cooked spaghetti or lo mein noodles in a pinch.
