Serves: 4
Course: Main Course
Cooking Time: 0 hr 15 mins
Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 350g broccoli or broccoli spears
  • 200g egg noodles
  • 2-3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seed oil
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

1 Cut the broccoli and its stems into bite-size pieces and set aside.

2 Cook the noodles according to pack instructions. Usually boil in plenty of water for 3-4 minutes.

3 Place a frying pan over a high heat. Add the olive oil and fry the sliced chicken for a few minutes until light golden. Add the sliced garlic and cook for a few seconds before adding the broccoli.

4 Leave to cook for a minute before pouring over the honey and soy sauce. This will bubble for a few seconds then remove from the heat. Add the sesame seed oil and noodles to the pan. Mix together well and divide between four bowls and scatter with sesame seeds
