Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger (fresh, grated)
- 2 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles cook, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until they turn bright green but are still slightly crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chicken broth, and cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet over the broccoli. Stir well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the cooked egg noodles and sliced chicken back to the skillet, tossing everything to coat evenly in the sauce.
Top with sliced green onions for garnish and serve warm.
