Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 8 oz Egg noodles
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Ginger, minced
- 1 large Carrot, julienned
- 1 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Snap peas, trimmed
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Hoisin sauce
- 1 tsp Sriracha (optional)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
- 1 Lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper, then cook for 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet, let rest for a few minutes, and then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha (if using), and chicken broth. Pour this sauce mixture into the skillet and stir to combine.
Add the cooked noodles and sliced chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together gently, ensuring the noodles and chicken are coated in the sauce and warmed through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the dish with chopped green onions and cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for added freshness and zing. Enjoy!
