Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Noodles
- 8 oz noodles (your choice)
Sauce and Seasoning
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp chili paste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Prepare the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente; 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 for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned, which helps release its aroma and flavor.
- Cook Chicken: Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Stir-fry Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet with the chicken and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender-crisp, maintaining its bright green color and crunch.
- Add Sauce: Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of chili paste, mixing everything thoroughly to coat the chicken and broccoli evenly in the spicy garlic sauce.
- Combine Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss all ingredients together to combine well and heat through.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste, toss once more, then serve the spicy garlic chicken and broccoli noodle bowls hot for a delicious, filling meal.

- Feel free to substitute broccoli with other vegetables like snap peas or bell peppers.
- Adjust the amount of chili paste depending on your preferred spice level.
- Use low sodium soy sauce for a healthier option to reduce salt intake.
- For a gluten-free version, choose gluten-free noodles and soy sauce.
- This dish reheats well and makes excellent leftovers for lunch.
