Sticky, savory-sweet garlic chicken noodles made in under 30 minutes with tender chicken, a glossy sauce, and customizable vegetables. A fast, satisfying weeknight dinner.
8 oz egg noodles (or rice noodles for gluten-free option)
1 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Optional vegetables: broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, or snap peas
1. Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente, about 1 minute less than suggested. Drain and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha if using.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
4. Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Pour sauce over the chicken and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add noodles and optional vegetables, tossing until evenly coated.
Chicken thighs stay juicier, but chicken breast or leftover rotisserie chicken works well.
Add vegetables for extra color and nutrition.
Toast sesame seeds lightly for maximum flavor.
