Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade dinner featuring tender chicken and noodles coated in a sticky, garlicky sauce that’s both comforting and flavorful.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz (225g) egg noodles or Asian-style wheat noodles (lo mein or chow mein)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 oz (225g) noodles and cook according to package instructions (4-6 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and prevent sticking. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional). Set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add thinly sliced chicken and cook 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. Lower heat to medium and add minced garlic to the same pan. Stir constantly for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant but not burnt.
  5. Return chicken to the pan with garlic. Add drained noodles and pour prepared sauce over everything. Toss continuously for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats noodles and chicken.
  6. Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

If sauce thickens too much while tossing, add a splash of water or chicken broth to loosen it without losing stickiness. Thinly slicing chicken helps it cook quickly and absorb sauce flavor. Avoid burning garlic by stirring constantly on medium heat. For gluten-free, use tamari and rice noodles. For vegetarian, substitute chicken with firm tofu or tempeh.
