- 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
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Boil the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to be added later.
- Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to warm up.
- Sauté the garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, careful not to burn.
- Cook the chicken: Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and fully cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Stir-fry the broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet with the chicken and stir-fry together for 3 to 4 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.
- Add sauces: Pour in the soy sauce and chili paste, mixing well to evenly coat the chicken and broccoli.
- Toss noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss all ingredients together thoroughly to combine flavors.
- Season: Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
- Serve hot: Remove from heat and serve immediately while warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute the noodles with gluten-free or whole wheat varieties as preferred.
- Adjust chili paste quantity based on your desired spice level.
- Add sesame seeds or chopped green onions for garnish if desired.
- Use chicken thighs instead of breast for richer flavor and juiciness.
- For a low-sodium version, use low-sodium soy sauce and limit added salt.
- Ensure broccoli remains crisp to add texture to the dish.
