Season chicken with salt, pepper and red chili flakes.
In a large pot, heat coconut oil over medium high heat. Add diced chicken and cook for about 5 minutes, tossing a few times. Don't worry if the chicken is not cooked all the way through here. Remove chicken from pot and set aside.
To the same pot, add carrots, red bell pepper, and onion. Stirring frequently, cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add chicken broth, coconut milk, red curry, coconut aminos and chicken back to the pot. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, add rice noodles and cook for about 5 minutes or until noodles are soft and chicken is cooked all the way through.
Add in cilantro, basil and lime juice. Season to taste.
Garnish with extra cilantro, basil and lime wedges if desired. Enjoy!
