Thai Chicken and Veggie Noodles in a skillet

There’s nothing I love more than a quick 30 minute meal that is packed with veggies, protein and noodles. I, for one, love noodles. I love them all, fat, skinny, and all different shapes and sizes. For others it may be a hot cup of cocoa, or a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup, while for others it could be their favorite cookie, or a spiced latte. But for me, nothing warms the cockles of my heart more so than a full bowl of noodles.

And I’m not being picky here, any kind of noodles will do. I could even eat plain noodles with a bit of Parmesan cheese on them. There’s just something super comforting to me about noodles. So if on a cold winter night you like to sit by your fireplace with a hot cup of cocoa, I love to sit by the fireplace with a full bowl of noodles. That’s just how I roll!

So let’s make some noodles. Hello my noodle friends. This dish is so easy to put together, you’ll want to forget all about takeout and you’ll be wanting to make this kind of dish every night for dinner. It’s packed with veggies, because let’s be healthy, lots of chicken and a yummy Thai inspired sauce. What more could a girl wish for? Or guy!

Ingredients

Noodles

  • Noodles – any Asian style noodles will work, like rice noodles, udon noodles, ramen, etc.
  • Sesame oil – you can use olive oil if that’s all you have but I love the taste of sesame oil in this dish.
  • Mushrooms – lots of fresh cremini mushrooms. Regular white mushrooms will work as well.
  • Bell peppers – I chose a green and a red one, just for the different colors, but use whatever you have.
  • Garlic – I hardly ever make a dish without adding some garlic.
  • Seasoning – salt and pepper to taste
  • Garnish – green onions and some chopped peanuts.

Sauce

  • Chicken broth – use a good low sodium brand, we’ll get plenty of sodium from the soy sauce.
  • Soy sauce – I always use low sodium.
  • Brown sugar – to balance out the saltiness in this dish.
  • Sriracha sauce – or any hot sauce you prefer. If you’re not a fan of spicy food, feel free to omit it.
  • Red chili paste – for more heat and this also gives the sauce some nice red color as well.
  • Ginger – freshly minced ginger. Did you know you can store your ginger in the freezer in plastic wrap or a ziploc bag and when you need some just grate some up right from frozen. This way your ginger will keep for months.

How To Make Spicy Thai Chicken With Veggie Noodles

  1. Cook noodles: Cook the Asian style noodles according to package directions.
  2. Make the sauce: Whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a medium size bowl and set aside.
  3. Saute the veggies: Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms begin to brown, stirring them occasionally. Once the mushrooms have browned, add the sliced peppers and garlic and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the peppers begin to soften.
  4. Finish the noodles: Add the chopped chicken to the skillet and toss everything together, then pour the sauce and stir. Cook for 2 more minutes until the sauce comes to a boil. At this time you can taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add cooked noodles and toss everything together. The noodles will absorb all the extra sauce.
  5. Garnish and serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and peanuts.

What Kind of Chicken Should I Use?

If you can shred it up, it will work! I usually use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, which I just pick up at the grocery store for this recipe. I find that rotisserie chickens are extremely tender and will shred up with no problem.

If you have a pressure cooker, you can also throw a couple chicken breasts in there with a cup of water or broth. Cook the chicken for 5 minutes on high pressure. Baking them will also work; you can season them however you like or leave them plain! They’ll soak up all that delicious flavor in the salad dressing.

Other Additions

This dish is a perfect blank canvas for introducing whatever you’d like, so let’s get into it.

How To Store Leftovers

This spicy thai chicken will keep for 3 – 4 days in the fridge if stored in an airtight container. I wouldn’t recommend freezing this dish as the noodles don’t thaw well after time in the freezer.

  • ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon red chili paste
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)

Notes

  1. You can increase or decrease the amount of sriracha/ chili paste called for to suit how spicy you’d like the dish to be.
  2. You can use whatever type of chicken you have handy, or just use veggies.
  3. This recipe will work for any type of Asian style noodles.
  4. This dish will keep for 3 – 4 days in the fridge if stored in an airtight container. I wouldn’t recommend freezing this dish as the noodles don’t thaw well after time in the freezer.

Great flavor and super easy to make. I added broccoli instead of mushroom and lots of chili paste at the end. I think it would be great with some scrambled egg too.

My husband and I worked together to make this dish. It was delicious ! We did use chuka soba instead of rice noodles and added more sriracha to make it spicier. But this is definitely a winner-winner chicken dinner !!!

Yum! I left out the sugar and used half the noodles and sauce so there were lots of veggies. I also used peanut butter in the sauce instead of peanuts on top. This is definitely a keeper.
