Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the noodles
Soak mung bean noodles in hot water until soft. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the chicken
In a steel pot, heat oil and add chicken marinated with salt and pepper. Fry until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and keep aside.

Step 3: Sauté vegetables
In the same pot, add a little more oil. Add garlic and onion, sauté until fragrant. Next, add green chili, potato, tomato, and carrot. Cover and let them cook until softened.

Step 4: Season
Add salt and pepper, mix well, cover again, and cook until the vegetables are tender.

Step 5: Make the cheese sauce
In a blender, combine cheese with milk to make a creamy mixture. Add this to the pot with the vegetables. Stir and bring to a gentle boil.

Add the cooked chicken back into the pot and stir. Finally, add the softened mung bean noodles. Mix until everything is well-coated in the creamy cheese sauce.
