Thanks friends! – Natasha
I want to try this recipe this weekend! Quick question though, did you season the chicken when you started cooking it in the skillet? I usually salt and pepper chicken when I am cooking it in the pan. Thanks!
Hi Meghan, you can season very lightly if you want to but it’s not necessary as there is enough salt in the sauce to season everything 🙂
What is the serving size for each serving?
Hi Meghan, there are a total of 4 servings here and each serving fills a soup bowl.
Yet another satisfying dinner! I made this yesterday and my Josh was so impressed. Hehe I think I basically always mention my husband’s reactions to the meals that I make from yer website…but that’s because it’s so fun to always see him happy! You make it so difficult for me to mess up on these meals and that makes me so happy! Happy people everywhere. Thank you to Love for sharing this recipe on here! I’ll definitely be making it again!
And I’m definitely happy reading your amazing review!! Thank you Viktoriya! 🙂
You said to only cool the noodles 2/3 minutes. The box said 8-10 minutes. I followed your instructions and now my noodles are undercooked. So now I’m trying to steam them along with the rest of the chicken/ already stir fried veggies. Had I cooked them the full time it would have been better.
Hi Destiny, what type of noodles and what brand did you use? 8 to 10 minutes would turn rice noodles into mush. Oh snap! I just saw the ingredient list had rice noodles or egg noodles but the cooking instructions were for the rice noodles. Oh gosh, I should have caught that!! So sorry! If you used egg noodles, my sincerest apologies. I updated the recipe to just say rice noodles which work best for this recipe and makes more sense with the instructions. Thank you so much for sharing your experience so I could fix that and for being nice about it in your comment. You’re the best!
This was delicious and my whole family loved it!!! The only thing I did different was to add a little sriracha at the end to give it a little spice. This recipe is a keeper 🙂
Nikki, that’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite 😀!
Ohhhh my goddd! This was so delicious! I really can’t cook but this came out fantastic! Super simple! I am anemic so I needed some more iron in it, instead of broccoli and mushrooms I substituted spinach and asparagus but still so delicious!
Charlie, thank you for such a nice review and I hope you’ll try many more recipes from our site 😄.
If you completely change the recipe don’t comment you A- Holes
Can really thin regular noodles be used instead (like angel hair)?
Hi Kayla, it wouldn’t have the same texture or flavor and it would seem much more like a pasta recipe than an Asian stir fry but I think it would still taste good 🙂
I love this recipe. My family keep asking me to make it over and over again. So I do, because it is delicious and so easy to make. Thanks Natasha. P.S. I love all your reipes. Easy to make and most ingredients I have in my cupboard. Totally awesome!!!!
That’s so awesome! I’m so happy you’re enjoying my recipes 🙂

This turned out delicious! Great Gluten free dish! Used Tamari in place of soy sauce, and sprinkled corn flake crumbs on chicken with seasoning, added carrots & pho rice noodles. Thank you
Thanks for sharing your GF modifications! 🙂
It was a nice filling healthy meal for the whole family. I only used chicken and broccoli my husband unfortunately does not like peppers and mushrooms. It still had and awesome flavor.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you so much for sharing that with us.
Tried it for the first time when I had invited friends over for dinner. I’m a rookie and this recipe turned out to my best yet 🙂 It was delicious. Thank you
I’m so happy to hear that!
LOVE!!! this recipe and my lil bro too (hes a tough critic and very blunt about it). but i added a little bean sprout just to give it a little something. 🙂
Thank you for the awesome review! 🙂
I love to cook but I’m new to stir frying. It turned out wonderful and very easy. Only thing is it is easier if you cook your noodles towards the end.
Hi Eric! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Made this twice already, and it is amazing! Thank you Natasha, you’re my favorite food blogger, your recipes never leave me disappointed. Keep it going 🙂
You’re so nice! Thank you Hanna 🙂
Made this last night and it was great! I added a few more veggies like matchstick carrots and water chestnuts. I also made extra sauce because the noodles I purchased were 14 oz er package instead of 12. It was delicious and my whole family loved it! Will be making stir-fry more often!!
Ava, thank you for the nice review, I’m glad your family liked it 😁.
Made this dish the other night and modified it slightly. Did not use the mushrooms, instead added julienned carrots and water chestnuts. Also, my family loves extra sauce, so we did 4x the sauce and it made the dish delicious even the next day! Highly recommend this dish if you add the extra sauce!
I’m so glad you liked it! Thanks for sharing your modifications! 🙂
