Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb chicken breast
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 count red bell pepper
- 1 cup sugar snap peas
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 4½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3/4 cup honey
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 12 oz spaghetti
- 1½ tbsp cornstarch
Steps
- Toss the chicken cubes with the hoisin and brown in the oil in a large deep skillet, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic for 30 seconds.
- Add the broth, soy sauce and honey and bring to a boil. Break the spaghetti in half and stir it in.
- Simmer uncovered 9 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until the noodles are tender and the chicken reaches 165°F. Add the pepper, snap peas and carrots for the last 3 minutes.
- Stir the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water, add it and cook 1 minute until the sauce clings. Serve.
- Picky eaters can have plain noodles and chicken with the sauce on the side.
- Make ahead: cut the chicken, slice the pepper and mince the garlic up to a day ahead and keep chilled.
On the side: Cucumber salad (5 min)
3 cucumbers, 1 bottle rice vinegar
- Thinly slice the cucumbers. Toss with a splash of rice vinegar, a pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt.
