Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
Noodles
- 8 oz egg noodles
Sauce & Oils
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles thoroughly and set aside to prevent overcooking.
- Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and red chili flakes (if using) to create the sticky garlic sauce. Set aside so the flavors meld.
- Cook Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Add Garlic: Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add Vegetables: Add broccoli florets and sliced bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables with the chicken for 3-4 minutes until they become tender-crisp.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the prepared soy sauce and honey mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat evenly and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly and bring the flavors together.
- Add Noodles: Add the cooked egg noodles to the pan. Toss everything thoroughly so the noodles absorb the sticky sauce and all ingredients are well combined.
- Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle sesame oil over the noodle mixture and give everything one final toss to add extra flavor and aroma.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pan from heat. Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top before serving to add freshness and a pleasant crunch.

- To make this dish gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce and noodles.
