Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts medium, about 14 oz, thinly sliced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 blocks instant ramen noodles about 6.3 oz total, cooked and drained (discard seasoning packet)
  • 4 garlic cloves large, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 1 red bell pepper medium, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets optional
  • 2 green onions sliced (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for topping
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce low-sodium preferred
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1-2 teaspoons chili flakes or sriracha to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • julienned carrots Optional
  • handful snow peas or snap peas Optional
  • toasted peanuts or cashews Optional, for topping

Method
 

  1. Thinly slice chicken breasts against the grain, then pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Toss chicken slices with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Let them rest while you prepare the sauce and vegetables.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili flakes or sriracha, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Taste the sauce and adjust the heat as needed.
  4. Slice the red bell pepper, chop the broccoli florets, and slice the green onions. Prepare any optional vegetables.
  5. Boil ramen noodles for 2-3 minutes until chewy but not mushy. Drain them and rinse with cold water.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
  7. In the same pan, stir-fry the bell pepper and broccoli (and any optional vegetables) for 2-3 minutes until just tender.
  8. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the cooked noodles and pour over the honey garlic sauce. Toss everything together for 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat until coated and glossy. If the noodles clump, loosen them with a splash of hot water.
  9. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I've found that boneless, skinless chicken thighs are a wonderful alternative to breasts here, they stay incredibly juicy and absorb the sauce beautifully.
