Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced

8 oz egg noodles

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)

1 cup broccoli florets

1 bell pepper, sliced

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and red chili flakes. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3: Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.

Step 4: Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5: Stir in the broccoli florets and bell pepper slices. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6: Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7: Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss well until the noodles are thoroughly coated with the sauce.

Step 8: Drizzle sesame oil over the noodles and toss once more to combine.

Step 9: Remove from heat, then garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh garlic and vegetables to enhance the flavor.

If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or chicken broth to loosen it.

Substitute chicken with shrimp, beef, or tofu for variety.

Add chopped peanuts or cashews for extra crunch.

For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños or sriracha.

Replace chicken with mixed vegetables for a vegetarian option.

Swap egg noodles for rice noodles or whole wheat noodles as desired.

Try adding pineapple chunks for a sweet and savory twist.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in a pan or microwave, adding a splash of water if the noodles have dried out. You can also freeze the cooked dish for up to one month; thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat over low heat before serving.
