Gently separate the fresh wide rice noodles to prevent them from tearing. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the noodles and toss gently to coat. This helps prevent them from sticking together during stir-frying.

Heat a wok or a large pan over high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken. Stir-fry the chicken for 2-3 minutes until it is lightly browned and mostly cooked through. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set it aside.

Add the prepared fresh wide rice noodles to the pan. Spread the noodles out and let them sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to allow them to char slightly, developing "wok hei" (smoky flavor). Add the bean sprouts and chopped green onions to the pan. Toss all the ingredients together with the noodles.

Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the noodles and vegetables. Pour the prepared Chow Fun sauce evenly over all the ingredients in the pan. Stir-fry quickly and vigorously for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the sauce is evenly distributed and the noodles are thoroughly coated. Serve the Chicken Chow Fun immediately while hot.
