Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Noodles
- 8 oz noodles (your choice)
Sauce and Seasonings
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp chili paste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Once done, drain and set aside to be added later.
- Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the garlic and chicken.
- Sauté the garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned, releasing a rich aroma.
- Cook the chicken: Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until the pieces are browned on all sides and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add the broccoli: Toss in the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are crisp-tender and bright green.
- Incorporate sauces: Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of chili paste, mixing well so the chicken and broccoli are evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Add noodles and combine: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss everything together, ensuring the noodles are well combined with the chicken, broccoli, and sauce.
- Season to taste: Season with salt and pepper according to your preference, stirring well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Serve hot: Serve the spicy garlic chicken and broccoli noodle bowls immediately while hot for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken breast with chicken thighs for a juicier texture.
- Adjust chili paste quantity to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Any type of noodles such as rice noodles, egg noodles, or soba noodles work well.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.
