Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Noodles and Sauce
- 8 oz noodles (your choice)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp chili paste
Oils and Seasonings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Prepare the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside to keep warm.
- Heat oil and sauté garlic: In a large skillet, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
- Cook the chicken: Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned on the outside and fully cooked through.
- Add broccoli: Stir in the broccoli florets and continue to stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until they are tender-crisp and bright green.
- Incorporate sauces: Mix in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of chili paste, stirring well to coat the chicken and broccoli evenly in the flavorful sauce.
- Add noodles: Toss the cooked noodles into the skillet with the chicken and broccoli mixture, combining everything thoroughly over medium heat.
- Season to taste: Sprinkle salt and pepper to your preference and give everything a final stir.
- Serve hot: Transfer the noodle bowl to plates or bowls and enjoy immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken breast with tofu or shrimp for variation.
- Choose any noodle type you prefer such as rice noodles, egg noodles, or soba.
- Adjust the chili paste amount based on desired spice level.
- For extra flavor, garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce for reduced salt content.
