Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces
- 8 oz spaghetti, linguine, or egg noodles
- 4 cloves garlic, minced or finely chopped
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 green onions, finely sliced (optional)
- Optional veggies: bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Lower the heat slightly and toss in the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir to combine.
- Add the cooked chicken and noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce and chicken is distributed. Cook for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Sprinkle with sliced green onions and additional red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
