Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (1 lb) chicken thighs, diced
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup (59 milliliters) honey
- 1/4 cup (59 milliliters) soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Staples and Vegetables:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) noodles of your choice
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) chicken broth
- 1 cup (85 grams) broccoli florets
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and chicken broth in a large pot, creating a fragrant cooking liquid over medium heat until gently simmering.
- Carefully add diced chicken pieces, stirring occasionally and cooking until golden brown and fully cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Introduce uncooked noodles and broccoli florets directly into the liquid, ensuring they are partially submerged. Cover the pot and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Allow ingredients to cook together, occasionally stirring, until noodles reach al dente texture and broccoli becomes bright green and tender, around 8-10 minutes.
- Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance overall flavor profile.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture rest for 2-3 minutes to allow sauce to slightly thicken and absorb into noodles.
- Garnish with finely chopped green onions for a fresh, zesty finish before serving hot directly from the pot.
Notes
- Swap chicken for tofu or tempeh to create a vegetarian-friendly version of this comforting one-pot meal.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce and noodles to make the recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Customize the vegetable mix by adding carrots, snap peas, or bell peppers for extra nutrition and color.
- For a lighter option, replace half the honey with low-sodium chicken broth to reduce overall sweetness and calories.
