  • Prep Time: 10 mins
  • Cook Time: 15 mins
  • Total Time: 25 mins

Yield: serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small bunch green onions, thinly sliced (green parts only)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste 
  • 8 ounces gluten-free long noodles (or your go-to long noodle like spaghetti)
  • 5 cups thinly sliced or chopped vegetables like bell pepper, carrots, peas, broccoli, edamame, mushrooms
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Start by slicing your chicken into thin strips and setting it aside. Mince the garlic and ginger, slice the green onions, and chop your vegetables into thin, bite-sized pieces. The key to a good stir-fry is having all your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start cooking.

  2. Cook the Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook your noodles according to the package instructions. Once they’re cooked, drain them and set them aside.

  3. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

  4. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pan, add another tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

  5. Cook the Vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil to the pan, followed by the chopped vegetables. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-5 minutes, until they are crisp-tender. You want them to retain some crunch, so be careful not to overcook them.

  6. Combine Everything: Add the cooked chicken back to the pan along with the noodles. Pour in the coconut aminos and rice wine vinegar, then toss everything together until the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.

  7. Serve and Enjoy: Garnish the stir-fry with the green parts of the green onions and an extra drizzle of sesame oil, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious chicken stir fry noodles!

Notes

*Store leftovers in fridge for 5 days. Reheat in skillet or microwave with splash of sesame oil or coconut aminos
