A quick and comforting one-pan dinner featuring tender chicken breasts glazed in a sticky garlic-honey sauce, tossed with chewy noodles and garnished with scallions and sesame seeds.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 8 ounces noodles (egg noodles, ramen, or udon)
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for pan-searing)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to package directions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl until smooth. This is your sticky sauce.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Swirl to coat.
  4. Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper. Add them to the pan and cook 5 to 7 minutes per side until well browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the sticky sauce into the pan. Let it simmer for 2 to 4 minutes, stirring, until it thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
  6. Return the sliced chicken to the pan and toss to coat in the glaze. Add the cooked noodles and use tongs to toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced scallions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

For gluten-free, use tamari and rice noodles. To enhance umami, add toasted sesame oil. Leftovers can taste better the next day.
