Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts thinly sliced
- 8 oz lo mein noodles or spaghetti as a substitute
Sauce
- 1/2 cup orange juice freshly squeezed
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes adjust to taste
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 green onions chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the noodles in boiling water until tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet, heat sesame oil and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add sliced chicken and cook until golden and fully cooked.

- Add cooked noodles and toss to coat evenly in the sauce.

Notes
Do not overcook noodles—they should be tender but firm. Always use fresh orange juice for the best flavor. For a milder version, reduce or skip the chili flakes.
