I sometimes get it at an Asian restaurant, but its is a huge portion. So I made it at home. Does this seem OK to you? I cant find out any nutritional information on 1/2 Cup Shredded Boiled Chicken. This is what i am thinking the calories would be (I looked up most of them)
How could I make this healthier? Do I really NEED that oil? Are there noodles that are healthier? I am sure I can use reduced fat coconut milk. Would prawns be better than chicken?
Any advice would be greatful because this is my FAVE food but I want to make it healthier so I can eat it more often.

100 calories is about right for 1/2 C of skinless chicken breast. If you're using thighs, it's going to be higher.

Define healthier.
If you want to make it lower-fat, switch to reduced-fat coconut milk and omit the olive oil. If you want to make it lower-carb, reduce the quantity of noodles. If you want to make it more nutrient-dense, sub veggies out for the noodles and/or chicken. Skinless chicken breast is pretty much straight protein, as are prawns, so sub if you like the taste, but the nutrition is pretty much the same.
Google says this is a soup recipe, so I'd toss a bunch of veggies in - enough to get two portions, rather than one.
