Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles

Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles is a quick and flavorful Asian-inspired dish combining tender chicken, chewy noodles, and a sticky, garlicky soy-honey sauce. Perfect for weeknight meals or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes to make the sauce.
  2. Toss chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 68 minutes.
  5. Pour sauce over chicken and stir to coat. Simmer until thickened, 23 minutes.
  6. Cook noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
  7. Add cooked noodles to skillet and toss to combine with sauce and chicken.
  8. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Use tamari and gluten-free noodles for a gluten-free version. Add vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas. Tofu, shrimp, or beef can replace chicken. Toss noodles with oil after draining to prevent sticking. Increase cornstarch or simmer longer for a thicker sauce.
