Step 2
Heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Once hot, add the chicken in a single layer. Let it cook undisturbed 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side until nicely browned and cooked through, another 2-4 minutes. Add the sweet chili sauce to the chicken and toss to coat. Set aside.
Step 3
Place the dry vermicelli noodles in a large bowl. Pour boiling water over top (about 6 cups). Let them soak for 3-5 minutes until the noodles are tender. Drain. For cold noodles, run them under cool water.
Step 4
Assemble the bowls with the vermicelli noodles, carrots, red bell peppers, cucumbers, bean sprouts, basil, mint, cilantro, and jalapeno. Add the chicken. Drizzle with extra sweet chili sauce and sprinkle with peanuts.
