Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas or green beans
- 8 oz rice noodles or spaghetti
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili paste (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pan, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Vegetables: Add the sliced red bell pepper and snap peas (or green beans) to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha, honey, and chicken broth (or water).
- Cook the Noodles: Add the rice noodles or spaghetti to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the noodles, and stir to combine. Add the cooked chicken back to the pan.
- Simmer: Cover the pan and let the noodles cook in the sauce for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the noodles are tender and have absorbed the flavors of the sauce. If the pan becomes too dry, add a little more chicken broth or water.
- Finish: Drizzle the sesame oil over the noodles and toss to combine. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
- Serve: Serve hot with lime wedges on the side, if desired, for an extra burst of freshness.
