Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb (450 g) chicken breast, diced into small pieces
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium, if preferred)
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
- 8 oz (225 g) noodles (lo mein or spaghetti)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the pan and cook them until golden brown on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. After cooking, take the chicken out of the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and finely chopped onion. Sauté them for 2-3 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant and the onion turns translucent. This step builds the base flavor for your dish.
Stir in the honey, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if you like a bit of heat). Let this mixture simmer for about 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and become aromatic.
Add the chicken broth and uncooked noodles to the skillet. Stir well to ensure the noodles are coated in the sauce. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and have absorbed the delicious sauce.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir everything together. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry, then add it to the skillet. Let the sauce thicken for about 1-2 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened and the chicken is well coated, remove from heat.
Top with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of ses
Notes
- Adjust the spice level by adding more red pepper flakes for extra heat.
- Use fresh garlic and onions for a more aromatic flavor.
- Ensure chicken is cooked through before returning it to the sauce.
