Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Noodles and Sauce

  • 8 oz noodles (your choice)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp chili paste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. Heat Oil and Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, taking care not to burn it.
  3. Cook Chicken: Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until it is browned on all sides and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes depending on thickness.
  4. Add Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet with the chicken and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender-crisp but still vibrant green.
  5. Season with Sauce: Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of chili paste, mixing thoroughly to coat the chicken and broccoli evenly with the sauce.
  6. Combine Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss everything together so the noodles are well combined with the chicken, broccoli, and sauce.
  7. Season to Taste: Season the entire dish with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as desired.
  8. Serve: Serve the spicy garlic chicken and broccoli noodle bowls hot, directly from the skillet, and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute the noodles with rice noodles, soba, or whole wheat pasta for different textures.
  • Adjust the amount of chili paste according to your preferred spice level.
  • For extra flavor, garnish with sliced green onions or toasted sesame seeds.
  • Make sure not to overcook the broccoli to maintain its crispness and vibrant color.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce sodium content if desired.
