Soak the rice noodles in hot water according to package instructions until soft, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until it's no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes.
Move the chicken to the side of the skillet and add the sliced red bell pepper, onion, and green beans. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, mix together the gluten-free soy sauce, dark soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and Sriracha.
Add the drained rice noodles to the skillet, then pour the sauce mixture over them. Toss everything to coat the noodles well and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the Thai basil leaves, allowing the residual heat to wilt them slightly.
Serve the drunken noodles hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top, enhancing the flavors.
