Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 8 oz egg noodles (or any pasta of your choice)
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening the sauce)
- 1 tbsp water (optional, for cornstarch slurry)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- Sauté the Garlic: In the same pot, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Make the Sauce: Add the honey, soy sauce, chicken broth, thyme, and rosemary to the pot. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Cook the Noodles: Add the uncooked noodles to the pot. Stir to coat the noodles with the sauce. Cover the pot and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.
- Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry and stir it into the pot. Cook for 1-2 more minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- Add the Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the pot and stir everything together. Let it simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until everything is heated through and coated in the sauce.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for a juicier and more flavorful dish.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- If you don’t have cornstarch, you can skip it, but the sauce will be thinner.
- This dish can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free noodles and tamari instead of soy sauce.
