Chicken Teriyaki Noodles Recipe
Our delicious Chicken Teriyaki Noodles recipe is perfect for a quick and easy dinner on those busy weeknights!
Ingredients
- 2-3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 tablespoon butter regular or plant-based
- 1/2 box fettuccine noodles
- 1 1/2 cups teriyaki sauce store-bought or homemade teriyaki sauce, more or less as desired
- serving suggestions: sesame seeds chopped green onions, red jalapeño slices
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Roast Broccoli: Put 2-3 cups broccoli florets in a large bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and some kosher salt. Spread in a single layer on a sheet pan and bake for 10-15 minutes or until soft, but tender.
- Cook Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a 1/2 box fettuccine noodles, and cook to al dente according to the package instructions and drain.
- Cook Chicken: Meanwhile, rub 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and then season both sides with salt and pepper. Bring a large skillet to a medium-high heat, melt 1/2 tablespoon butter, and sear the seasoned chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes on each side. Continue cooking on medium heat until the internal temperature at the thickest part of the meat reaches 160 degrees F (use a meat thermometer - it will reach 165 degrees F while the meat rests).
- Rest & Slice: Transfer cooked chicken thighs to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes and then cut into slices or bite-sized pieces.
- Combine: Add noodles to the skillet along with the chicken, roasted broccoli, and as much teriyaki sauce as desired. Toss to combine.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions!
Notes
- Dairy Free: simply use a plant-based butter.
- Teriyaki Sauce: option to use a store-bought version or make our epic homemade teriyaki sauce!
- Gluten-Free: use your favorite gluten-free noodle.
- Broccoli: to make things easier you can easily steam your broccoli - I just love the crispiness of roasted broccoli so that is my recommendation!
- Sheet Pan Option: the recipe is best when made as-written, BUT if you really want to simplify things you can bake the chicken thighs and broccoli on a sheet pan at 415 degrees F. for approx. 15-20 minutes (or until chicken is fully cooked).
- Storage: leftover noodles can be kept in an airtight container for 4-5 days. Noodles tend to soak up extra sauce, so you may want to toss in some extra teriyaki sauce before serving.
