Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb chicken thighs or breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
Sauce Ingredients:
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Noodles and Vegetables:
- 8 oz (226 grams) spaghetti or lo mein noodles (uncooked)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper (sliced thin)
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Optional Garnishes:
- Sliced green onions
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Infuse olive oil in a spacious pot or deep skillet over medium-high temperature. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then sear until golden and thoroughly cooked, approximately 5-6 minutes. Transfer chicken to a separate plate.
- Craft the sauce by whisking honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, sesame oil, and ground ginger in a compact mixing vessel until harmoniously blended.
- Utilize the identical pot to pour chicken broth and water, bringing the liquid to a vigorous boil. Introduce uncooked noodles, gently stirring to prevent clumping. Reduce heat to medium and allow noodles to simmer for roughly 5 minutes.
- Incorporate broccoli florets, diced bell peppers, and shredded carrots into the noodle mixture. Cover and continue cooking for 3-5 minutes until vegetables reach tender perfection and noodles absorb most liquid.
- Reintroduce the previously cooked chicken into the pot. Cascade the prepared honey garlic sauce over the noodles and protein, gently tossing to ensure comprehensive coating. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, enabling flavors to intermingle.
- Transfer the aromatic creation into serving bowls. Embellish with thinly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an elegant finishing touch. Serve piping hot and savor the culinary symphony.
Notes
- Opt for boneless, skinless chicken thighs for extra juiciness and richer flavor compared to chicken breasts.
- Choose thick, sturdy noodles like udon or egg noodles to prevent mushiness during cooking.
- Adjust sauce sweetness by reducing honey for a less sweet version or adding chili flakes for subtle heat.
- Customize vegetable mix based on seasonal availability or personal preference, keeping cooking time consistent.
