A flavorful and spicy garlic chicken and broccoli noodle bowl that’s quick to prepare and perfect for a satisfying weeknight meal. Tender chicken, crisp broccoli, and savory noodles are combined with a vibrant chili paste and garlic sauce, creating a deliciously balanced dish with a spicy kick.

Ingredients

Scale

Protein & Vegetables

  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Carbohydrates

  • 8 oz noodles (your choice)

Sauces & Oils

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp chili paste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Seasonings

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Follow the package instructions to cook the noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside to prevent overcooking while preparing the rest of the dish.
  2. Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, letting it warm up until shimmering to ensure even cooking.
  3. Sauté garlic: Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it for the best flavor.
  4. Cook chicken: Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  5. Add broccoli: Toss in the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp, maintaining a nice texture.
  6. Add sauces: Stir in the soy sauce and chili paste thoroughly, coating the chicken and broccoli evenly to infuse the dish with savory and spicy flavors.
  7. Combine noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss everything together carefully, ensuring the noodles are well mixed with the sauce and ingredients.
  8. Season to taste: Finally, season with salt and pepper according to your preference, adjusting the flavors before serving.
  9. Serve hot: Plate your spicy garlic chicken and broccoli noodle bowls immediately while hot and enjoy the delicious medley of flavors and textures.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chili paste to control the spice level to your liking.
  • Feel free to incorporate other vegetables such as bell peppers or carrots for added color and nutrition.
  • This dish is great for meal prepping and can be made ahead of time and reheated without losing its flavor.
