Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked noodles
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and cutting chicken breast into thin slices, chopping broccoli into florets, slicing bell peppers and mushrooms into uniform pieces.
- Cook noodles according to package instructions in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking, then set aside.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of cooking oil and allow it to become hot.
- Add chicken slices to the hot skillet, season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through with no pink remaining.
- Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add broccoli, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Stir-fry vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
- Return chicken to the skillet, add cooked noodles and teriyaki sauce. Toss everything together, ensuring ingredients are evenly coated with sauce and heated through.
- Transfer the teriyaki chicken noodle bowl to serving plates. Garnish with sesame seeds for added texture and nutty flavor.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Asian-inspired meal immediately.
Tips
- Slice Uniformly: Ensure all your ingredients are cut to similar sizes for even cooking and a professional presentation.
- High Heat is Key: Use a hot skillet or wok to achieve that perfect golden-brown sear on the chicken and create a slight char on the vegetables.
- Don't Overcook Vegetables: Stir-fry veggies just until crisp-tender to maintain their vibrant color and nutritional value.
- Sauce Coating Trick: Add teriyaki sauce at the end and toss quickly to prevent burning and ensure every ingredient is beautifully glazed.
- Sesame Seeds Matter: Toast the sesame seeds lightly in a dry pan before sprinkling for an enhanced nutty flavor.
- Meal Prep Friendly: This dish can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator, making it perfect for quick lunches or dinners throughout the week.
