Description
Quick and easy Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles, perfect for family gatherings and busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast or thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 3 tablespoons honey (raw or mild-flavored)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger (fresh preferred)
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)

- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 6-8 minutes. Drain and toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.
- Coat chicken pieces in cornstarch in a bowl.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and grated ginger for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in soy sauce and honey, and cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Return chicken to skillet and toss for 1 minute until fully coated in sauce.
- Add cooked noodles and toss for another minute until warmed through.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.
