Ingredients
Scale
- For the Chicken:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for spice level)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- For the Noodles:
- 8 oz rice noodles
- For the Vegetables:
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 2 green onions, chopped
- For Garnish:
- Sesame seeds
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, sriracha, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- While the chicken is marinating, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Add the sliced bell peppers, snap peas, and carrots to the skillet, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice noodles with the chicken and vegetable mixture, tossing to combine.
- Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.
Notes
- This dish can be made ahead of time; store the chicken and noodles separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu and use vegetable broth instead of soy sauce.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
