Ingrediente

2 tbsp olive oil

1 lb (450 g) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/4 cup corn starch to coat the chicken in

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium if preferred)

2 tbsp hoisin sauce (I don’t have so using a substitute of soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, and peanut butter mixed together)

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tsp sesame oil

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice) I am using 1/2 Tablespoon of sriracha

8 oz (225 g) noodles (lo mein or spaghetti)

2 cups chicken broth

1 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 1 Tablespoon water

2 tbsp green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instrucțiuni

Sear the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Sauté aromatics: In the same skillet, add the garlic and onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and softened.

Create the sauce: Stir in the honey, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Cook the noodles: Add the uncooked noodles and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine and ensure the noodles are submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook on medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.

Thicken the sauce: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
