Description
These Chicken Teriyaki Noodles are sticky, savory, and packed with bold flavor. Juicy chicken is coated in a glossy homemade teriyaki sauce and tossed with chewy noodles for a fast and comforting dinner ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
1 pound chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
10 ounces lo mein or yakisoba noodles
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water (for slurry)
1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 green onions, sliced
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
1. Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside. Rinse with cold water if using rice noodles.
2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
4. Mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Add to the sauce and stir until it thickens and becomes glossy.
5. Return chicken to the skillet. Toss to coat in sauce. Add noodles and stir until everything is evenly combined.
6. Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sesame oil if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in soy sauce and garlic for 30 minutes before cooking.
Add frozen or fresh veggies like broccoli, bell peppers, or carrots for a complete one-pan meal.
Don’t overcook the noodles—keep them slightly firm so they hold their texture when tossed in sauce.
