  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb chicken breasts or thighs, boneless and skinless

Noodles

  • 8 oz egg noodles

Sauce Components

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth

Cooking Fats

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

Seasonings and Garnishes

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts or thighs with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the pot and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Build the Sauce: In the same pot, add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn. Stir in honey and soy sauce, scraping the browned bits from the pot to form a rich, glossy sauce.
  3. Add Broth and Noodles: Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add egg noodles, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid to cook evenly.
  4. Simmer Until Tender: Place the seared chicken back on top of the noodles. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until noodles are tender and chicken is cooked through with no pink inside.
  5. Final Touches and Serve: Garnish with sliced green onions. Stir gently, taste, and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use chicken pieces of similar size for even cooking.
  • Do not skip searing the chicken to add depth of flavor.
  • Keep an eye on noodles to avoid overcooking; remove from heat when al dente.
  • If sauce is too thin, simmer uncovered to reduce; if too thick, add a splash of broth.
  • Add garlic later in cooking to keep it fresh and avoid bitterness.
