Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes to the same skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
3. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to turn bright green and slightly tender-crisp.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce (or tamari), honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
5. Pour the sauce into the skillet with the broccoli. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the broccoli.
6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the drained cooked noodles. Toss everything together to coat the chicken and noodles with the sauce, ensuring the broccoli is well distributed. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired.

Notes

Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on the stove in a skillet with a splash of water or broth over medium heat for best results.
