Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and cook your choice of noodles according to the package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium heat until it shimmers, roughly 2 minutes.
Add minced garlic to the hot oil, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds or until aromatic and golden.
Introduce sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Toss in broccoli florets, mixing well with chicken. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender.
Pour in soy sauce and chili paste, stirring to coat everything evenly. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Carefully add cooked noodles to the skillet, gently tossing everything together for about 1-2 minutes.
Taste and season with salt and pepper to your preference, then serve hot garnished with sesame seeds or sliced green onions.
