3. Let the noodles rest for 3 minutes to release moisture, then transfer to a colander to drain.
4. Wipe the pan and heat another tablespoon of olive oil. Add chicken cubes and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
5. Add tomatoes and parsley, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes until tomatoes start to break down.
