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
- Cook Noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Season to Taste: Season the entire dish with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as desired.
- 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.
