Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
Noodles and Base:
- 8 ounces (225 grams) noodles (spaghetti, rice noodles, or egg noodles)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Sauce and Seasonings:
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
Garnish:
- 1 green onion, chopped
Instructions
- Warm a spacious skillet with vegetable oil over moderate temperature, then sear chicken pieces until they develop a rich golden exterior, creating caramelized edges that lock in flavor.
- Transfer chicken to a temporary plate, then introduce minced garlic into the identical pan, allowing its aromatic essence to permeate the cooking surface.
- Create a luxurious sauce by combining soy sauce, golden honey, robust oyster sauce, savory chicken broth, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, whisking to integrate all components seamlessly.
- Carefully lower the noodles into the fragrant liquid, gently nestling the previously cooked chicken back into the pan, allowing everything to simmer and meld together harmoniously.
- Gradually incorporate a cornstarch mixture to transform the sauce into a silky, clingy consistency that will elegantly coat each strand of noodle and chicken morsel.
- Enhance the dish’s depth by drizzling with nutty sesame oil, ensuring every ingredient is thoroughly coated and intermingled.
- Elevate the presentation by scattering freshly chopped green onions and a delicate sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds across the surface, adding visual appeal and textural contrast.
- Serve immediately while piping hot, inviting diners to experience the vibrant layers of flavor in this comforting one-pot wonder.
Notes
- Ensure chicken pieces are evenly sized for consistent cooking and tender results.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to control spice level, making the dish milder or more intense based on personal preference.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to manage salt content and create a more balanced flavor profile.
- Swap regular noodles with gluten-free or zucchini noodles for dietary accommodations like celiac or low-carb diets.
