Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: I usually use about 3-4 chicken breasts, but adjust depending on how many people you’re feeding.

• Fresh Garlic: Choose firm, fresh garlic cloves for an irresistible aroma and flavor.

• Bell Peppers: Any color works here; just slice them thinly for even cooking.

• Broccoli Florets: Fresh broccoli adds crunch and vibrant color to your stir fry.

• Carrots: Julienne or slice them thinly; they add sweetness and texture.

• Soy Sauce: Use low-sodium soy sauce for better control over saltiness in your dish.

• Sesame Oil: A few drops enhance the nutty flavor profile of your stir fry.

• Noodles: Choose your favorite type; rice noodles or egg noodles work beautifully here.

• Green Onions: Slice them thinly for garnish; they add freshness and color.

• Chicken Broth or Water: This helps create steam while cooking your veggies perfectly.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Strong start: Start by prepping all your ingredients before cooking; this will make the process smoother and more enjoyable.

Heat that pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add a tablespoon of oil and let it shimmer before adding chicken pieces.

Cook to perfection: Add cubed chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Allow it to brown for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown on all sides.

Veggie time: Toss in sliced bell peppers, julienned carrots, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry everything together until veggies are tender but still crisp—about 3-4 minutes should do!

Sauce it up: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce and sesame oil. Pour this delicious mixture over your stir-fried chicken and veggies.

Noodle magic: Add cooked noodles into the pan and toss everything together gently until well combined—about 2 minutes more will ensure everything is heated through!

Final touches: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving hot. Enjoy every colorful bite of this delightful dish!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by marinating your chicken, then sear it in a hot pan. While that cooks, prepare the noodles and chop your veggies for optimal timing and flavor.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap chicken for tofu or shrimp. Add extra veggies like bell peppers or snap peas to enhance flavors and textures in your chicken stir fry with noodles.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave until warmed through, adding a splash of water if needed.

I remember the first time I made this dish for friends. They were blown away, asking if I had secretly attended culinary school!
