In under 20 minutes you can make this delicious healthy Sesame Chicken and Noodles that is bursting with flavor and oozing with simplicity. Every bite is as good as the first.
If you like pad thai you are going to love Sesame Chicken and Noodles and it is so easy to make. I love that the chicken used is already pre-grilled and cut into strips, ready to use and marinate right from the start. I have never cooked or used udon noodles before but they were amazing. They cooked quickly, I let them cook for about 6 minutes. They were soft, but not mushy (I am not a fan of mushy lifeless noodles) and took on the flavor of the sesame oil as soon as I added it.
Sesame Chicken and Noodles looks like you have spent a lot of time in the kitchen grilling and marinating the chicken, making the tasty sauce and the finely slicing the pepper, but in reality this only takes 20 minutes.. MAX. The chicken literally marinates for the length of time it takes to cook the noodles and then its ready to be tossed together. This Sesame Chicken and Noodles is a healthy lunch or dinner that doesn’t’ take a lot of expensive ingredients to make.
So if you are in the mood for a robust flavor and a quick and easy meal, try this Sesame Chicken and Noodles and watch every last noodle get slurped up! xoxo.
