Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Noodles

  • 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 8 ounces spaghetti noodles, uncooked
  • 1 (10.8-ounce) frozen vegetable medley (Asian medley recommended)

Sauce

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Garnish

  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Chopped green onion, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a 13 x 9 x 2-inch rectangular baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer Noodles and Vegetables: Place the uncooked 8 ounces of spaghetti noodles evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread the 10.8-ounce frozen vegetable medley evenly over the noodles.
  3. Add Chicken: Arrange the 1 pound of chicken breast pieces on top of the noodles and vegetables, ensuring even distribution for uniform cooking.
  4. Prepare Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ground ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch until well combined and smooth to create the honey sesame sauce.
  5. Pour Sauce Over Dish: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the layered noodles, chicken, and vegetables in the baking dish, ensuring everything is well coated.
  6. Cover and Bake: Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to cook the chicken and soften the noodles and vegetables.
  7. Stir and Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil carefully, gently stir the mixture to loosen the noodles from the bottom, and then bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the noodles are tender.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onion before serving to add a fresh and crunchy finish.

Notes

  • Be sure to cut the chicken into uniform 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • If you prefer, you can swap the spaghetti noodles for fettuccine or linguine for a slightly different texture.
  • Use an Asian vegetable medley with options like snap peas, carrots, and baby corn for added flavor.
  • Make sure to cover the dish well while baking initially to trap moisture for the noodles to cook properly.
  • For a spicier version, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
