# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
02 - 450 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
03 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1 small onion, finely chopped

→ Sauce

05 - 60 millilitres honey
06 - 60 millilitres soy sauce, low sodium if preferred
07 - 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
08 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
09 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
10 - 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional

→ Noodles and Broth

11 - 225 grams noodles (such as lo mein or spaghetti)
12 - 480 millilitres chicken broth

→ Thickener (Optional)

13 - 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

→ Finishing and Garnish

14 - 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
15 - Sesame seeds, optional
16 - Salt and pepper, to taste

# Steps:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turning to ensure all sides are golden. Remove chicken and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and onion becomes translucent.
03 - Add honey, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir and allow the mixture to simmer for about 2 minutes to meld flavors.
04 - Pour in chicken broth and add uncooked noodles. Stir to coat noodles in the sauce. Cover and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
05 - Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Gently stir to combine with noodles and sauce.
06 - Stir in the cornstarch slurry if thicker sauce is desired. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce reaches the preferred consistency.
07 - Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the heat level to personal preference.
02 - Substitute with gluten-free noodles and tamari to accommodate gluten intolerance.
03 - Thighs yield juicier results, while breasts offer a leaner option.
