Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 250 grams spaghetti or egg noodles
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, grated ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove to make the marinade for the chicken.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the sesame noodles. For best results, marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and 1 minced garlic clove to make the sesame noodle dressing.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Brush the grill with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Toss the cooked and cooled noodles with the sesame noodle dressing until evenly coated. Add the sliced green onions and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, then toss again.
Slice the grilled chicken into thin pieces and serve on top of the sesame noodles.
Garnish with the remaining sesame seeds and additional green onions, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Chicken with Sesame Noodles!
