Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 2 chicken breasts, diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Noodles and Broth
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 8 oz egg noodles
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Brown the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Add garlic and sauce ingredients: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Then add honey, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes if using, mixing well to combine the sauce with the chicken.
