Ingredients
To whip up your Chicken Stir Fry Noodles, gather the following ingredients:
- Chicken Breast: 1 pound, thinly sliced. (Boneless thighs work too if you prefer a richer flavor.)
- Noodles: 8 ounces of stir fry noodles (egg, rice, or soba). (Opt for whole grain for added fiber.)
- Bell Peppers: 1 cup, sliced (mix of red, yellow, and green for color).
- Broccoli Florets: 1 cup, fresh or frozen.
- Carrots: 1 medium, julienned.
- Soy Sauce: ¼ cup, low sodium is a great option for a healthier twist.
- Garlic: 3 cloves, minced.
- Ginger: 1 tablespoon, fresh grated.
- Sesame Oil: 2 tablespoons (for flavor).
- Vegetable Oil: 1 tablespoon (for cooking).
- Green Onions: 2, chopped (for garnish).
- Sesame Seeds: 1 tablespoon (optional for garnish).
Instructions
Begin by slicing the chicken breast and vegetables. Having everything prepped ahead of time ensures a smoother cooking experience. This is key when cooking at a high heat, as you want to add ingredients quickly to retain their crunch.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for about 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Make sure to stir frequently to get an even sear.
Tip: Using a non-stick skillet can help avoid the chicken sticking and allows it to brown nicely without losing moisture.
Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir continuously for about 30 seconds until fragrant. These ingredients not only enhance the flavor but also provide a delightful aroma that makes your kitchen smell amazing!
Add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
Tip: Keep the heat high during this step to ensure the vegetables remain vibrant and retain nutrients!
Add the cooked noodles (you can prepare them according to package instructions) along with the soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the noodles to soak in the flavors.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot, and watch your family and friends devour this colorful dish!
