Chilli chicken noodles in broth

Chilli Chicken Noodles in Broth marries the warmth of chicken broth with the spicy kick of salsa and soy sauce. This comforting dish combines tender chicken breasts, rice noodles, and fresh scallions for a well-rounded, hearty meal that's perfect for a cozy night in.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup salsa sauce
120g
1/4 cup soy sauce
60g
1 lb chicken breasts
450g
2 tbsp peanut oil
30g
4 cups chicken gravy
800g
2 cups rice noodles
460g
1 cup scallions
50g

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, combine the salsa sauce and soy sauce. Mix well.
- Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated with the sauce mixture.
- Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to an hour in the refrigerator.
2. Prepare the Noodles:
- While the chicken is marinating, cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions.
- Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
3. Cook the Chicken:
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken (along with the marinade) to the skillet and stir-fry until the chicken is fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Make sure to stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
4. Prepare the Broth:
- In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
5. Combine and Serve:
- Add the cooked rice noodles to the pot of simmering chicken broth. Stir gently to combine and heat through.
- Add the cooked chicken along with any residual sauce from the skillet into the pot. Stir to blend all the flavors together.
- Finally, add the chopped scallions into the pot. Stir briefly and remove from heat.
6. Serve:
- Ladle the chilli chicken noodles and broth into serving bowls.
- Garnish with extra chopped scallions if desired for additional flavor and color.

Tips:

- If you're short on time, use store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the chicken breasts from scratch.

- For added depth of flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in some soy sauce and a little garlic before cooking.

- Don’t overcook the rice noodles; they can become mushy. Follow the package instructions and rinse them with cold water after boiling to stop the cooking process.

- Consider adding vegetables like bell peppers, baby spinach, or bok choy to enhance the nutritional value and add more texture.

- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less salsa according to your taste preference.

- Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or a squeeze of lime for an extra burst of freshness.

And there you have it! A delicious bowl of Chilli Chicken Noodles in Broth. The delightful mingling of spicy salsa, savory soy sauce, and rich chicken gravy makes this dish a true crowd-pleaser. Enjoy it steaming hot and savor every flavorful bite.
