Description
A quick and simple dish combining savory garlic, tender chicken, and slurpy noodles in a sticky-sweet sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using) thoroughly to form a flavorful sauce.
- Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until each piece is evenly coated.
- Warm the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the coated chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken and stir well to coat all pieces. Let the sauce simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens and becomes sticky.
- Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sticky chicken and toss well to evenly distribute the sauce and chicken throughout.
- Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds (if using) over the top before serving hot.
