Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces of Chinese egg noodles fresh or dried
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds roasted
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger minced
  • 1 cup of your favorite stir-fry vegetables bell peppers, broccoli florets, sliced carrots
  • 2 green onions sliced

Instructions
 

  • Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain them well and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chicken broth, honey, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Make sure the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
  • In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds for 2-3 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add minced garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add vegetables and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss until well coated with the sauce.
  • Stir in most of the toasted almonds and green onions, reserving some for garnish. Serve immediately, garnished with remaining almonds and green onions.
