Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced

Noodles

  • 8 oz stir fry noodles (rice noodles, egg noodles, or lo mein preferred)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Aromatics

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Sauces & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Optional

  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Slice the chicken breast thinly and chop the bell peppers and broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Cook noodles according to package instructions until just under tender, then drain.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken slices and stir fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Stir Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed, then sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add bell peppers and broccoli and stir fry for 3-4 minutes, keeping veggies crisp-tender and vibrant.
  4. Combine Noodles and Sauce: Return cooked chicken to the skillet, add the drained noodles, and pour in the soy sauce. Toss everything together thoroughly, allowing noodles to absorb the sauce and mix well with chicken and vegetables.
  5. Finish and Serve: Turn off heat, sprinkle chopped green onions and optional chili flakes on top. Toss briefly and serve hot for a delicious, quick dinner.

Notes

  • Slice all ingredients ahead of time for a smooth cooking process.
  • Use high heat to sear and maintain vegetable crunch.
  • Cook in batches if pan is overcrowded to ensure even cooking.
  • Use fresh garlic and ginger for maximum flavor.
  • Add soy sauce gradually and taste to avoid over-salting.
