For the Chicken and Noodles:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
8 oz noodles (such as lo mein, soba, or rice noodles)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup matchstick carrots
1 cup snap peas
1 bell pepper, sliced
2-3 green onions, sliced
For the Teriyaki Sauce:
½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
Prepare the Noodles: Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
Cook the Chicken: Heat canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the matchstick carrots, snap peas, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat evenly and bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Add the Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing to combine and heat through.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions over the top before serving. Enjoy your homemade Chicken Teriyaki Noodles!
