Ingredients
Scale
Gathering ingredients for this dish is as simple as a trip to the pantry and a quick jaunt to the fridge. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup sweet chili sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
If you’re feeling adventurous or simply need to adapt to what’s in your kitchen, feel free to substitute the rice noodles with soba or even spaghetti. And if cilantro isn’t your thing, a sprinkle of sesame seeds can add a nice touch.
Instructions
Let’s dive into the kitchen and make some magic happen:
- Start by cooking the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breasts, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 6-8 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, and lime juice in a small bowl.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Add the bell pepper and carrots, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Mix in the cooked noodles, tossing everything together until the noodles are well-coated with the sauce and heated through.
- Top with green onions and cilantro before serving. Enjoy the blend of sweet, spicy, and savory in every bite!
