Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced Substitute thighs for more fat and flavor.
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, trimmed
  • 8 oz noodles of your choice (egg noodles, udon, rice noodles)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce Use low-sodium if preferred.
  • 1 tbsp chili paste Adjust to taste; sambal oelek or gochujang both work.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil Or neutral oil like vegetable or peanut oil.
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Method
 

Cooking the Noodles and Chicken
  1. Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp olive oil.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 20–30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Increase heat slightly. Add the sliced chicken in a single layer. Cook for 4–6 minutes, flipping, until browned and just cooked through.
  5. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  6. Stir in 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp chili paste. Mix thoroughly so sauce coats chicken and broccoli.
  7. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss for 1–2 minutes to combine and heat through.
  8. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.

Notes

For best results, slice chicken thin across the grain, and cut broccoli into similar-size florets. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
