Thai Black Pepper Chicken and Garlic Noodles.
Weeknight style Thai Black Pepper Chicken and Garlic Noodles. The super fast Thai chicken noodle bowl that looks like takeout, but tastes so much better…and it’s healthier too! Quick-cooking chicken tossed in a sweet, tangy, and spicy Thai style black pepper sauce with plenty of broccoli, cashews, and basil. Serve this chicken over saucy garlic butter rice noodles and top with extra lime juice. Every bite is saucy, sweet, spicy, and hinted with basil. It’s delicious and healthy. Major bonus? This comes together in no time at all (under 30 minutes). Perfect for busy weeknights when you’re looking for something a little more special, but still quick, healthy-ish, and DELICIOUS.
Making Monday night Thai inspired food a thing and so happy about it. I’ve been saying this for weeks, but all I’m craving right now is colorful food, anything fun, and anything different. Any kind of recipe that I haven’t made before. With life in quarantine being much the same every day, I’m thankful to have food as an outlet for spontaneity. Just something different to break up the days, you know?
So yeah, long story short, I’m switching up recipes these days. I’ve made things like a whipped coffee white Russian, Mexican taquitos, and Italian style ravioli. I even ventured towards Cuban with my skillet cheesy Cuban chicken and rice bake and creamy coconut lime mojitos.
Cooking has been the only thing keeping me sane. What’s helping you guys?
Anyway, today we’re stepping into some quick-cooking Thai cuisine, and it’s truly my favorite kind of food.
The inspiration.
I’ve had this dish in mind for a while now. My oldest brother Creighton is here and this week he pushed me to finally create the recipe. He’s been asking for some new quick-cooking Thai inspired chicken dishes, so I obviously had to deliver up something good.
Enter this under 30-minute Thai black pepper chicken. It’s not super traditional, but it was inspired by black pepper chicken. Which customarily, is a mix of chili peppers, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, fish sauce, and plenty of black pepper. My take has all these flavors too…but also some additional ones as well.
It’s saucy, spicy, sweet, a touch salty, and just about as delicious as a quick-cooking Thai chicken dinner can get. I really can’t say enough good things about this recipe. It’s one of those dishes that will become a monthly staple.
Why? Well, it’s simple, it’s quick, it’s pretty healthy, and it’s a dinner that most everyone can really enjoy.
The process.
First up, toss the chicken with a little cornstarch, turmeric, and ginger. Tossing the chicken with cornstarch allows it to get extra crispy and caramelize while cooking.
Now make the sauce. It’s simply, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and plenty of chili flakes, plus black pepper.
Pan-fry the chicken in a little oil until it is crisp. Add plenty of broccoli, a handful of cashews. Then pour over the sauce and let it simmer down and thicken over the chicken and broccoli.
As the chicken is cooking, boil some rice noodles and toss them in a hot pan full of butter and garlic. Yes, noodles, butter, and garlic…but then add a touch of coconut milk for a little more sauce and additional creaminess. SO GOOD.
By the time the noodles have cooked, the chicken should be done as well. Now, put it all together…
Spoon the noodles plus the sauce into bowls, then add the chicken and broccoli. Finish each bowl off with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and fresh basil or cilantro.
Enjoy. Immediately.
Yes, this is that simple and that quick-cooking. Honestly, this will take you no more than thirty minutes to make and uses a good amount of pantry staples too!
Notes and substitutions…
For the broccoli, while I love it with this dish, you can really use whatever vegetable you have on hand. Bell peppers would be my top pick, then asparagus, but you could also use mushrooms, bok choy, carrots. Really, use whatever you’ve got.
Now, let’s talk about the noodles. I like to use vermicelli rice noodles, but you could use any variety of rice noodles or even angel hair pasta. The noodles are meant to be saucy, so once you toss them with the garlic butter sauce, make sure to serve right away.
And you guys…that’s it. Takes less than 30 minutes to make and it’s not only delicious but fun too. We might not be able to travel around the world right now, but at least we can create fun ethnic-inspired recipes at home any night of the week.
I’m all about that. So, Monday night Thai food?

Thai Black Pepper Chicken and Garlic Noodles
Key Ingredient: chicken
The fast Thai chicken noodle bowl that looks like takeout, but tastes so much better...and is healthier too!
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons corn starch or flour
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1-2 teaspoons black pepper, using more or less to your taste
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil or extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 2 medium shallots, sliced or chopped
- 2 small heads broccoli, chopped
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 cup fresh basil or cilantro, roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 3-4 cloves garlic finely chopped or grated
- 1/3 cup canned coconut milk
Instructions
-
1. In a medium bowl, toss together the chicken, cornstarch, turmeric, ginger, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon oil.
2. In a glass jar, combine the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 cup water.
3. Cook rice noodles according to packaged directions.
4. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken and brown all over, until it becomes crispy, about 5 minutes. Add the shallots, broccoli, and cashews, cook another 2-3 minutes, until the broccoli is charring. Pour in the honey/soy sauce mix. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the sauce coats the chicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime zest, lime juice, and the basil.
5. Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, garlic, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired. Cook until the garlic begins to caramelize and turn light golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk, cooking 3-5 minutes, until warmed through. Remove from the heat and toss the noodles with the sauce.
6. To serve, divide the noodles among bowls and top with chicken. Serve with additional basil and limes. Enjoy!

Hi Taylor! I will try! Thank you for the suggestions! xTieghan
Heyy! For some reason your newest recipes aren’t appearing on the homepage since the “Taquitos” recipe…. I don’t know if that’s a constant bug, though.. Just letting you know.
Btw, BIG fan!
Hmm.. that is so weird! Could I ask what browser you are using? I will look into this! xTieghan
Sounds Delicious! Is there any substitute for Coconut Milk? Thanks so much for sharing your recipies love trying them 🙂

Happy Monday! This looks delicious, and I already have all ingredients but 2. I’ll come back later in the week to give it a rating after I make it!
I wanted to stop by to say that your cookbooks (especially super simple) and blog have been really great during this quarantine. Where I live in Florida we have a drive up farm that sells huge bags of fruit, veggies, or salad stuff for $10 apiece. I’ve been challenging myself to meal plan and make sure every single piece gets eaten! This is where your recipes come in. Last week I made the sesame chicken with roasted green beans, chicken pot pie (I added fresh celery to it), instant pot harvest chicken with wild rice (also added fresh celery)…just to name a few. Almost every night we’re chopping and grilling random veggies for side dishes too. This week I’ll be making this and the taquitos. Can’t wait! Stay safe! X
Hi Kristen! That is so perfect! I hope you love this recipe! Also, I am so happy to hear that you have been loving the super simple recipes! Thank you! xTieghan
When do you add the 1 1/2 tsp of black pepper? In the chicken marinade, it calls for just a pinch.
Hi Toni,
Sorry for the confusion, recipe is fixed, just add a pinch to the marinade. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Looks amazing!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THAI food and live your 30 minute and also your better than take- out series!
Thank you so much Sue! I hope you try and enjoy this one! xTieghan

Thank you Kelly! I am so glad this recipe turned out so well for you! I hope you continue to love them! xTieghan
I have the same question as Toni about when to add the remaining black pepper. Only a pinch is added to the marinad. Thank you! Can’t wait to try it tonight.
Hi Molly,
Sorry for the confusion, the recipe is adjusted, add a pinch into the marinade! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan

Do u cut the chicken into strips before cooking?
Hi Jeanne! Yes, I would! I hope you love this! xTieghan
Saw this recipe this morning and made it tonight. My husband and I often cook together and one thing that we have been doing lately is to make new recipes together. Hey everyone this recipe is a keeper! Very easy, really good and so user friendly! I changed up the veggies, substituted chicken broth for coconut milk, and we loved it! Will go into our regular rotation!!
Thank you so much Susan! I am so glad this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Just made this for dinner and it is SO GOOD. I’ve been making your recipes for a couple months now and I’d say this is definitely top 3. Thank you for sharing!!
Wow that is so amazing! I am so glad this one turned out so well for you. Megan! Thank you for trying it! xTieghan
Are you sure the calories for this are correct? I ran the recipe through My Fitness Pal and I’m calculating 700+ calories per serving (for 4 servings including the garlic butter noodles).
Hi Linda! It is an estimate, but I will double check. Thank you! xTieghan
I’ve made tons of HBH recipes and honestly while this had more ingredients than most, I had them all on hand and it was FANTASTIC. The noodles alone had such a creamy flavor and the chicken, broccoli, cashew mix was fantastic. Next time I’d double the noodles.
That is the best!! I am really happy to hear this turned out so well for you Shelby! Thank you so much for trying it! xTieghan
Just made this tonight for dinner, it was really easy to make and it came out SO DELICIOUS!!! I’ll definitely be making this dish of yours on the regular!
Thank you so much Amina! xTieghan
I loved this recipe was but I forgot to add the pepper I think? The ingredient list calls for 1.5 teaspoons but the instructions only call for a pinch in the cornstarch coating for the chicken. Was I supposed to add the rest of the pepper to the sauce? And was I supposed to add fish sauce? It wasn’t in the recipe or ingredient list but you mentioned It in the post! I added a little dash of It just in case. Actually it was vegetarian fish sauce because that was all I had in hand but it turned out really good!
Hi Lindsey,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe! Sorry for the confusion, it I just a pinch of pepper in the marinade, the recipe is adjusted. When it comes to the fish sauce I was saying that it is typically made with fish sauce but I didn’t add any to mine. I hope this clears things up! xTieghan
This looks wonderful. Any substitute for the rice vinegar? Otherwise I have everything else!
Thank you!
Hi Gina! Apple cider vinegar should work great if you have it! Please let me know! I hope you love this recipe! xTieghan
Made this last night for my husband and I… DELICIOUS! love the spice.
Thank you so much Teresa! xTieghan
Hey Tieghan! How do you calculate nutrition? When I did it for this recipe it shows as about 570 calories per serving, not 279. I even used subs like light coconut milk instead of whole and it still comes out over what you have calculated. I might be doing it wrong though 🙂
Hi Meg! It is an estimate, I will double check it! Thanks! xTieghan
Made this last night and it was soooooooo good! So many amazing flavors all together! Like others I am wondering about the black pepper, but I just used the pinch in the marinade and it came out great! I will be making this one again! Thanks Tieghan!
I am so glad it turned out so well for you Linda! Thank you!! xTieghan
I had the same question about the black pepper it is not in the recipe but it is on the blog. I hope this helps the other with the same question. Going to try this tonight!
Now make the sauce. It’s simply, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and plenty of chili flakes, plus black pepper.
Hi Jackie,
Yes, sorry I adjusted the recipe, it is just a pinch of black pepper. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Hi! Love you posts. Can’t wait to try. Most of the stores near me are in short supply of mostly everything. Do you find that you have any trouble with Thrive? I see the links go directly there and I was wondering if you shopped there mostly?? Looking to change up how we acquire our staples. 🙂
Hi Marsha! I do not have a problem with Thrive, but right now many things are taking longer to ship than usual due to the high demand.. I find it really easy to use and order from though! Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Can you substitute the chicken for shrimp?
Yes! I think that will work great! I hope you love this recipe, Kendra! xTieghan
Please please please address several of us who are asking about what to do with the 1 1/2 tsp if black pepper – you do not tell us in the recipe where to add it.
Hi Christine! It is just a pinch of black pepper! The recipe is all fixed. I hope you love this recipe! xTieghan
Hi Christine,
I have adjusted the recipe. It no longer calls for 1 1/2 teaspoons of black pepper, there is simply a pinch in the marinade. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I made this recipe vegan (used tofu instead of chicken and earth balance butter) and it was incredible! Love these flavours! I also didn’t have broccoli so I used green beans, and still phenomenal. Thanks for this amazing and easy recipe!
Thank you Katie!! SO glad you used what you have on hand! I hope you continue to love this and others of mine! xTieghan
Going to make this tomorrow night. Still questioning the amount of pepper?
Hi Mary Ellen! It is a pinch of black pepper! I hope you love this recipe! xTieghan
Hi! Any sub for tumeric? Does the turmeric really make the dish? Thank you!
Hi Shellie! Curry powder should work great to replace turmeric. I hope you love this recipe! xTieghan
Hi Shellie,
The numeric add great flavor to this dish. You could sub with another seasoning that you enjoy, curry would be great. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This was a huge hit with my husband and kids. I checked your IG post for a turmeric substitution and used curry instead. I also saw on IG to add the entire 1 1/2 tsp pepper in the first step. I used chicken broth instead of coconut milk. Thanks for this easy, adaptable, delicious dish!
Hi Annie! I am so glad you were able to use what you had on hand for this one! Thank you so much for trying it! xTieghan
Delicious recipe. I’m still confused about where the black pepper is added. I put the 1.5 tsp of pepper in the cornstarch mixture and it worked out fine. I substituted asparagus for the broccoli and it was amazing. I also used about one cup of the coconut milk and a little extra butter and garlic in the sauce. Restaurant quality dinner. Thanks
Hi Christine! It is added in step one and is just a pinch! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! Thank you! xTieghan
Absolutely loved this! So good, with wonderful flavors! My picky son loved it too.
The best! Thank you so much for trying this one Laura!! xTieghan
Tieghan,
I made this tonight and it was sooooo good! The fam was happy. The lime at the end made it light and fresh. The rice noodles in the garlic, butter, coconut sauce were so tasty though mine weren’t very saucy. I used an 8 oz. package and it soaked up all the sauce. Will definitely make this again. Thank you!
Amazing! I am happy this recipe turned out so well for all of you! Thank you so much for trying this one! xTieghan
So delicious! Making your wonderful recipes have been something to look forward during quarantine
Aw thank you Allie!! So glad you have been looking forward to making some of my recipes! xTieghan
This was delicious (like the other 100 meals I have cooked in the last 2 months)! I substituted the chicken with tofu and used mushrooms instead of broccoli, because that was all I had in my fridge. It was perfect! I am sure it tastes great with chicken, too 🙂
Thanks for your recipes. I have cooked my way through both of your books. I love to have my go-to recipes on hand, but especially during quarantine I love to try something new everyday. So, big thank you for sharing so many great recipes on a daily basis. I am sure it is very hard work, so you should know it is greatly appreciated and one of the fun parts of these days!!
Ok WOW!! This was so amazing to read! I am really glad you have been loving my recipes and I hope you continue to! Thank you so much Fenja!! xTieghan
Love following along with your recipes! You are doing an amazing job! I am going to try this tomorrow! 🙂
Woo! I hope you love it! Thank you Tiffany! xTieghan
Can u substitute tofu for chicken?
Hi Iris! Yes that should work fine! I would recommend the tofu is pressed so it can absorb the flavor! I hope you love this recipe! xTieghan
Made this last night with tofu and rice in place of noodles – it was amazing, so much flavour
Thank you so much Jill!! xTieghan
Made this last night.
Came together quickly and was easy to follow.
We just expected more black pepper in the recipe given it’s called Thai black pepper chicken. Not sure if we missed something. Ended up adding extra black pepper, a little sriracha and some salt. I would make it again.
Thank you Jasmine! xTieghan
This was so yummy. I had to leave out the turmeric and lime. But flavor will still great and everyone really enjoyed it!!
I am so glad you all still loved this Melissa! Thank you for trying it! xTieghan
I didn’t have any fresh herbs, and this was STILL a five star recipe! Excited to try it again when the fridge is fully stocked.
Thank you so much Amy!! xTieghan
Could you substitute zoodles instead of rice noodles? Any tips if so?
Hi Caroline! Yes you can use zucchini noodles in this. I would recommend blanching them and adding when you normally add the noodles. I hope you love this recipe! Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
PS: Here is a good article in case you need help cooking them!
https://www.brit.co/how-to-cook-zoodles/
DELICIOUS!!!!!
Thank you so much Amy! xTieghan
So so good! Will definitely be making this again.
So amazing to hear! Thank you Gillian! xTieghan
Yumm yumm yumm. Sooo delicious and scrumptious!!
Currently browsing through your website for my next meal 😊 thank you!!
Aw I am so glad you liked this one! I hope you love all of the others you try, Sneh! Thank you!! xTieghan
Made this last night and it was absolutely delicious!! Thank you for putting together so many great pantry-staple recipes – I come to your site almost daily to get ideas. 🙂
Thank you Ashley!! So glad I am a source of inspiration for you!! xTieghan
Hi! Thank you for all your wonderful recipes! Our family especially loves your chicken ramen soup. In your Thai black pepper chicken recipe, If you don’t have cashews could you use another nut or would you just omit it?
Thank you!
Hi Ashlee,
You could either leave the cashews out or use another nut, walnuts or pecans would be great. I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Looks amazing! Do you think shrimp could be an alternative to chicken? I have a frozen bag looking at me 🙂
Hi Cait! Yes, I think that should work great! Please let me know how this turns out for you! xTieghan
I’m INHALING this as I type! SO GOOD. I used bell peppers, snow peas and regular onion in place of broccoli and shallot, and rice instead of noodles, because #quarantine. I think the lime juice took this over the top. Another winner!!
I am so glad this turned out so well for you!! Thank you so much Sammie! xTieghan
This is very flavorful and delicious. I will say it took me 10m to put all of the ingredients on the counter to get ready to cook so if you can prep this whole meal in 10m props to you but it took me closer to an hour to prep and cook.
Hi Katie! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! I am sorry it took longer than expected to prep! xTieghan
Love this dish!! So tasty and super easy! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Eric! I am really glad this one turned out so well for you! xTieghan
I made this for dinner tonight, and my husband and I both thought it was delicious! I will definitely make it again!
Thank you so much Susan! xTieghan
This was SO GOOD. Didn’t have noodles so I just used rice instead and it was great. I haven’t seen my two year old eat that much in a long time!!!
Wow I am so glad you all loved this one, Mary!! Thank you! xTieghan
Made this tonight and actually had all of the necessary ingredients already so that was amazing! I used thin spaghetti noodles instead of the rice noodles and it was still unbelievably good!
Wow I am so glad this ended up turning out so well Kristen!! Thank you so much for trying it! xTieghan
This was excellent! I subbed tofu for the chicken and mixed frozen veggies for the broccoli. This is a super adaptable and really delicious recipe! My boyfriend’s words after the first bite “you’ve outdone yourself”.
Thank you so much Michelle! xTieghan
Excellent! Made this last night for me and my husband. No left overs!!! 🤫 it was that good!!! Wouldn’t change a thing to this. Absolutely delicious!
Thank you so much Connie! xTieghan
made this last night and loved it! used bell peppers because that it was we had on hand, so very good! My boyfriend said the noodles were addicting… will definitely be making again!
That is so great! Thank you so much Katherine! xTieghan
I made this last night after seeing it on your Instagram story! We LOVED this recipe. I halved the broccoli and added an orange pepper and a handful of mushrooms. My husband loved this dish and was emphatic that this was a “do again”. The sauce on the chicken and veggies was just the right amount of sweet, savory, and salty, and the lime juice really makes the best finishing touch. Thank you!
I am so glad this recipe turned out so well for both of you! Thank you for trying it! xTieghan
Made this exactly as written. It turned out amazing. My husband and kids( ages 9,9,11,12)loved it. This was enough to feed all of us. Our favorite recipes are your Asian ( Indian, Thai etc) I would love to see a Thai green court with shrimp and eggplant recipe!
Thank you so much Lauren! That is so great to hear! xTieghan
I made this last night and it was delicious, especially the coconut garlic rice noodles, perfect paring! The lime juice and zest gave it an amazing note of fresh citrus which I think completed the meal. However I can’t see where in the recipe it says to add the 1.5 teaspoons of black pepper? I only see “a pinch of black pepper” in step #1. I added a 1/2 teaspoon at the end (im serving kids who don’t like too spicy) Am I missing something?
Hi Summer! It is just a pinch of black pepper in the beginning! I am so glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
So good!! And so easy!!!
Thank you so much Aleks! xTieghan
I don’t understand why this is called Black Pepper Chicken, when the recipe calls for just “a pinch.”
Hi Jayeff! The pepper flavor comes out in this recipe, that is why it is called that. I hope you try it! xTieghan
Took me way longer than 25 minutes but this was SO delicious; thank you! Do you ever put other things over these garlic noodles? They were my favorite part.
Hi Emily! I haven’t tried to! I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe though! Thank you for making it! xTieghan
Tieghan,
This dish is wonderful. It’s savory, a tiny bit sweet, and the noodles are definitely a step above plain rice. The entire family deemed it a winner and my hubby requested that it go in the rotation. These takeout meals are winners for sure.
Thank you so much Kristi! That is so great to hear! xTieghan
Wao! This is so good.. so weird haha but so good! I thought.. what? Noodles and butter and olive oil..? This is amazing!
Haha thank you Irma! I am glad you tried this! xTieghan
Could you please clarify step one? “In a medium bowl, toss together the chicken, cornstarch, turmeric, ginger, a pinch of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon oil.” I made this last night but when I tossed it all together the spices and cornstarch and oil all clumped together, and then after I put it in the pan, the only thing that “browned” or “charred” was the spice mixture. Thanks.
Hi Braden,
So sorry you had issues with the recipe. For this step, you are coating the chicken with the cornstarch, turmeric, ginger, black pepper, and olive oil. I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions!
My wife just told me we aren’t going out for Thai anymore. It was that good!
Wow that is so amazing!! Thank you so much Adam! xTieghan
I made this for dinner tonight and it was amazing!! I didn’t have much sauce for the noodles, maybe I let it over reduce? But it was so so so good!! I will definitely be making this regularly! Thank you for the wonderful recipe!
Hi!
That could be your issue, also this isn’t a super saucy dish! Thanks for trying the recipe! xTieghan
Just made this for dinner and it was EXTREMELY good. Perfect for Friday night and the new episode of Run on HBO! Seriously better than take out (since we can’t get any right now)!
Thank you so much Hannah! xTieghan
Sooooo good! I wasn’t sure about adding oil to the cornstarch mixture so I skipped that step and just tossed the chicken in the dry mixture. I didn’t use coconut milk, I just tossed the noodles in that amazing garlic butter with a dash of water. Those noodles were heaven. I added a bit too much lime juice but it still turned out amazing. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much Julie! I am so glad these turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Can you show your math as to how you came up with 279 calories/serving? This number seems grotesquely low to me.
Hi Harold! I will review it, thank you! xTieghan
How do you come up with only 279 calories/serving? This number seems grotesquely low to me.
Amazing flavours!
Thank you Ania! xTieghan
Loved it! I even added some fried crispy garlic and onions on top with some black sesame seeds for crunch!
Amazing! Thank you so much Monica! xTieghan
Your better than takeout recipes are THE BEST. This one is no different! Made it with rice instead of the noodles and it was phenomenal. Such great flavor and simple ingredients. Thank you Tieghan!
Thank you so much Katie!! That is so amazing to hear! xTieghan
Amazing flavors! So much better than takeout. It took me almost an hour to make this with the prep work, but I’m assuming it’s because Tiegan is a ninja in the kitchen and I am not! So delicious! Thanks again!
Thank you Dana! I am so glad this recipe turned out so well for you!
Loved how easy this was to make and I really enjoyed the slight kick of heat behind the dish that wasn’t totally overpowering. This dish had a nice balance of flavors.
Thank you so much Megan! xTieghan
Love this! We will make it again! Next time we will prep all the ingredients more thoroughly to avoid scrambling but still worked out great!!
I am so glad this turned out so well for you Chris! Thank you for trying it! xTieghan
Just made this and it was SO fast and easy and DELICIOUS—that salty sweet balance is just perfect as is the freshness of the lime juice and basil to finish it. The garlic coconut milk sauce for the noodles added such depth. I passed the recipe along to my daughter and my friend and everyone loves It—thank you so much Tieghan for brightening our world during this time and always!
Thank you Linda! I am so glad this recipe turned out so well for you!! I hope you are staying safe and healthy! xTieghan
So delicious and flavorful! I substituted broccoli with asparagus and it was great!
Thank you so much Hanna! xTieghan
This was amazing! So tasty! Delicious
We will do again and again and again!
Thank you
Thank you Jan! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Delicious and easy. We loved this! Thank you so much.
Thank you Erin! xTieghan
Your nutritional information is incredibly inaccurate for this recipe – please, don’t bother posting if you’re not going to check if it’s right.
Hi Jane! I am sorry and will recheck it. It is only an estimate. Thank you! xTieghan
I just made this and it was amazing!!it was so easy but packed with flavor. I will definitely make again! thanks for the recipe:))
Thank you Kaila! I am so glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Such a delicious dish, but some family members argued that there were too many flavors going on. We added the small amount of red pepper flakes to the soy sauce mixture and it was too spicy for kids. I might also add that 25 minute time is slightly misleading (maybe we’re just slow haha) but all those small prep steps really add up. We had 3 adults zesting limes, grating garlic, chopping veggies stirring the chicken mixture, watching the noodles and the separate sauce, etc etc and it took us over an hour. Overall I found it to be worth it! Super fun and interesting take that wasn’t lacking flavor in the least.
Hi Brinley! I am sorry this did not turn out as expected for you. Please let me know if there are any questions I can help you with! xTieghan
I made this chicken today. And i must say my husband and I ate it all 😁 I didn’t have noodles so I served it with just white rice. I cannot wait to get some noodles and make the whole dish again.
Hi Niloo! I am so glad you both loved this recipe so much! I hope you enjoy it even more with noodles! xTieghan
I can’t wait to try this for week night lunch prep! I’m working from home while my boyfriend goes into work during the week and sending him with a delicious lunch makes the both of us happy. 🙂
I’m doing my best to not venture out to the store and the only thing I’m missing for this is the cashews. Do that make a huge difference? I have walnuts, almonds, or honey roasted peanuts (a go to snack but not sure if it would go in this dish). ANy recommendations?
Hi Maria! I am so glad you like this one! You could either leave the cashews out or use another nut, walnuts or pecans would be great. Let me know how this turns out for you! xTieghan
Made this with tofu- great quick dinner. Couldn’t get the sauce to thicken but it was still really good.
The rice noodles with coconut milk/garlic/chilli! Awesome – thanks for another go-to recipe.
Thank you Hilary! I am so glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
DELICIOUS!!! Just made this dish for dinner tonight and it was so flavorful and easy to make. My husband doesn’t like dishes that are too sweet, so instead of coconut milk I just cooked the chicken in coconut oil. Can’t wait to make another one of your recipes.
Thank you so much Nicole! I hope you love all of the recipes you try of mine! xTieghan
I made this tonight for my husband and son. We loved it!!!! The only adaptations I made for my son were to use coconut amino acids instead of soy sauce and left the cashews off his plate. He has a lot of food sensitivities. It was easy to make and they loved the spice level. This is the third recipe I have made from your blog and all have been good and I have the super simple cookbook of yours. I am new to your blog and loving it so far. Thank you for the interesting flavors but recipes that are adaptable and accessible.
I am so glad this turned out so well for you Heather!! Thank you so much for trying it!! xTieghan
Made this recipe for dinner this past week. I’m not going to lie, it took me longer than 25 minutes, but it was worth every one. It was mouthwateringly delicious! Huge hit! I’ve already passed this recipe on to numerous friends. THE BEST!
Thank you so much Stacey!! I hope you friends love it as much as you do!! xTieghan
did not look like the picture…but the flavor was amazing!!!
Thank you so much Michael! Please let me know if there is anything I can help with! xTieghan
My whole family loved this! The addition of the lime juice and zest at the end gave it a nice citrus punch. The noodles were especially yummy, and will be a great alternative to rice going forward. Thank you for sharing so many wonderful recipes!
Thank you for trying them Connie! I am glad this one turned out so well for you and your family! xTieghan
i can’t wait to make this tomorrow!!!!! loooks soooooo yummy and i’ve been looking for something to use up the noodles i have. thank you!!
I hope you love this Casey! Thank you! xTieghan
I made this for my family last night. It was pretty simple although the 25 mins may be deceiving if you’re a bit slower with chopping and everything like me. But it was still an easy and pretty straightforward recipe. And soo good!! It was so flavorful and something about it just kept me going back for more. Some notes: I used whole wheat ramen noodles as that’s what I had and they worked out just fine. Also used cilantro in a tube for one of the final steps of fresh cilantro or basil as well as frozen broccoli, and those were also fine swaps. I am adding this to my weekly lineup!!
Thank you so much Karb! I am so glad this recipe turned out so well for you and your family! I hope you continue to enjoy my recipes! xTieghan
I made this for dinner tonight and despite getting a little crazy on my part by using too much red pepper flakes. It was incredible.
I am so glad you enjoyed this one, Haidenne! Thank you so much for trying it! xTieghan
Once again, Tieghan knocks it out of the park. Family loved it.
Thank you so much Mandi! xTieghan
The recipe was incredible!!! Definitely not a 25 min recipe, prep-time was about 30 minutes. I will be making this one again.
I am so glad this turned out so well for you, Poppy! Thank you! xTieghan
Do you think I could sub maple syrup for the honey? Just realized I’m almost out of honey and wanted to make for tonight’s dinner. Thanks!
Hi Sara,
Yes that is totally fine! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I just made this tonight for my parents and boyfriend. It was really amazing! I ended up only having a pad thai style rice noodle so I think it could have maybe used extra sauce for the noodles. And I added red curry paste to the butter and garlic before adding the coconut milk for some extra head and flavour. But otherwise made it as Is. It was a hit with everyone!
That is so great! I am so glad this recipe turned out so well for you Julie! xTieghan
I’m a new fan but a big one! This recipe was amazing. The only comment I’ll make is that it took way longer than 25 minutes. Well worth it though – thanks!
Thank you Tina! xTieghan
SO GOOD! I thank you for a great recipe that I will definitely make again! I forgot to add the Milk but it still turned out great.
I am glad this still turned out so well for you, Ally! Thank you for trying it! xTieghan

Hi Julie! I am really glad this recipe ended up turning out so well for you! Thank you for trying it! xTieghan
You came up with some funky fusion with this dish, and we loved it! That chicken alone was amazing—I’m envisioning it in all kinds of other meals. And we loved the garlicy coconutty noodles! Really impressed by your creativity here!
Thank you so much Kelly! I am glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
I made this dish for dinner last night and it was absolutely delicious! I’m planning on making it again, again and again. Your recipes and ideas are such an inspiration! The inspiration I really needed 😊
Aw I am so happy to hear that Sheena! Thank you so much for trying this one! xTieghan
This. Is. So. Good. A flavor explosion with every bite. I will say, my husband and I almost finished off what says serves four but we didn’t have any other sides to fill us up! So be aware if cooking for a group. Stop searching and make this immediately.
Haha thank you so much Colleen! I am so glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Made this with a few substitutions because of pandemic creative cooking. This was fabulous and restaurant quality according to my husband. I marinated the chicken in the dry rub for a couple of hours, then, cooked the chicken. We ended up not having the rest of the meal until the next day. I used cut up chicken thighs as that is what I had, and I had cauliflower and fennel, so those were my veggies. I also left out the coconut milk…because I didn’t want to open the can for 1/3 cup…I know, lame! Still, the dish totally was awesome with layers of deliciousness and flavor. This is now in my make again file. Thank you again for a wonderful, flavorful, chicken dish!
Thank you so much Karen! I am glad this recipe turned out well for you! Also, love that you could use what you had on hand! xTieghan
Made this for dinner and my husband and I loved it! I almost exclusively use your recipes for dinners and they are a hit every time. 🧡
Thank you so much Cece! xTieghan
Just when I thought I couldn’t have another favorite meal, I made this! You outdid yourself on this one! The flavor was AMAZING. I’ve been asked to add this into our weekly meal rotation. I’ve been cooking your HBH Super Simple (best Xmas gift ever) and blog recipes during quarantine and we look so forward to dinner time. Thanks for keeping us well fed with delicious meals during this time!
Wow that is so amazing! Also, I am so glad you are loving my cookbook! Thank you so much Laura! xTieghan
This recipe was super flavorful but my sauce never thickened the way yours appears on the chicken – any advice on what went wrong? I definitely added the cornstarch to the chicken at the beginng.
Love your recipes!!
Many thanks,
Taylor
Hi Taylor,
So sorry you had issues with the sauce. Next time try letting it simmer for a bit longer to allow it to thicken. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
My family loved this recipe! I’ve seriously never seen them eat dinner so fast. My kids can be fairly picky and dont like a lot of spice. This was flavorful and just plain delish. I’m so glad I found you Tieghan. Your recipes have made quarantine bearable!
Wow that is os amazing to hear! Thank you so much Lauren! xTieghan
This was SO delicious!!! Definitely company worthy. We’ll be making this again for sure!
Thank you so much Karen! xTieghan
This recipe has the bones of a delightful dish, but my first attempt ended up with something tasty but gooey. The broccoli cooked down into a a green smear, the chicken was not crispy, and the noodles were gooey. Here are some observations and questions:
1) Chicken: the flavor was great no crispiness in sight. I don’t now how anything could remain crispy after being boiled in the sauce while it’s reducing. Maybe we shouldn’t be expecting crispy, because it did turn out nicely otherwise?
2) Broccoli: At medium heat, I could not char the broccoli at all. A large 14″ pan with the chicken in it and a big mount of broccoli ends up steaming the broccoli in its own juices. It got soft instead of charred. Then when the sauce was added, it cooked down into a green paste.
3) Sauce: I think less water would lead to less cooking time which would lead to crispier veggies. I used warm water which was an inspiration since it melted the honey and allowed the sauce to mix up nicely.
4) Noodles: At Denver elevation, if you start soaking the noodles when you start cooking the meat and stick to recipe cooking times, they aren’t soft enough by the time you need them. I started them before the meat and they ended up too soft. Then, after draining them, I put them back in the pot and added the noodle sauce. Oops! there was too much water left in the noodles and they got mushier. Next time, I’ll soak the noodles for less time and immediately rinse them with cool water, then let drain longer before adding the sauce. I think they will keep until serving once they have the sauce on them, since otherwise it’s a bit scary thinking they might stick together.
Hi Eric! Thank you for trying this recipe! I am sorry it did not turn out as well as you had hoped! xTieghan
Made for my family of 6 tonight. Everyone loved it! Thank you!
Thank you so much Kimberly! xTieghan
We made this tonight and I can already tell that this is going to be in our weekly rotation. We’ve been doing a lot of cooking in quarantine and my husband and I agree this is by far our favorite thing we’ve eaten in the past two months! 😊 I didn’t have soy sauce or broccoli so I used tamari and red bell peppers (I threw in some scallions because I had some I needed to use) and it turned out great. I feel like this recipe is really flexible if you have to make substitutions which is a must in quarantine cooking 😉
Wow that is so amazing Jen! I am really glad you enjoyed this recipe! xTieghan
I made this vegetarian by using tofu instead of chicken (tossed pressed cubed tofu in the cornstarch/spice mixture and then fried it like you would the chicken, then took it out of the pan before adding veggies to keep it crispy) and it was phenomenal! The flavor profile of this really hits all the notes. Great recipe from HBH once again, as always! ❤️
Hi Alex! I am so glad this recipe turned out so well for you Alex! Thank you for trying this! xTieghan
This is unbelievably good! We didn’t have noodles so I used rice instead. Rice worked great tossed in the sauce! My 5 year loved it too! Thanks for a great recipe! I can’t wait to try more!
Thank you so much Ellie! I am really glad this recipe worked so well for you! xTieghan
Just made this!!! So delicious!!!! Wish I could post a pic bc it even looks pretty.
Thank you so much Renae! I am so glad you enjoyed this one! xTieghan
Hi omg this was amazing!!!!!!! I made it tonight and my husband who does not like Thai food absolutely loved it too. I have made a few of your other recipes too and they have all hit the spot. Keep up the amazing work. A big fan
Aw thank you so much! That is so amazing to hear! I hope you both continue to enjoy the recipes I create! xTieghan
This was DELICIOUS! Had to sub cardamom for ginger because I ran out, but still great. However it took me an hour 😂 very impressed by anyone who can do this in 25 minutes. Thank you!!
I am so glad this turned out so well for you Megan! Thank you! xTieghan
WOW this was so delicious and simple! The flavours come together so well. This will definitely be a new staple in my house. Thank you!
Thank you so much Lucy! xTieghan
Made this tonight and just loved it. I may have to try doing just the garlic sauce and noodles by themselves one of these days! It was out of this world and a nice extra layer of flavor. Thanks so much
Thank you shiny! I am so glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Made tonight and loved it. However 2 tablespoons of oil wasn’t enough. And next time will toast the cashews first
Thank you so much Jenni! xTieghan
No directions for rice noodles on package!
Need about four kitchen elves to do this in twenty five minutes.
Other than that, I guess on a scale of one to ten we’d have to give it about … oh maybe a ten. Fabulous.
Haha I am really glad you still loved this one, Charles! Thank you for giving it a try! xTieghan
Another incredible HBH recipe! I didn’t have all the ingredients (cashews, basil), but this was SO yummy and easy! Thanks, Tieghan!
Thank you Maegan! I am so glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
My wife and I made this the other night, thankfully we had all the ingredients on hand. It was great !
The only thing is that our noodles didn’t end up with a sauce like the ones in the picture, perhaps because we used
brown rice noodles ? Next time we’ll increase the noodle sauce.
Thank you so much! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
This was great!
Thank you Lori! xTieghan
This came out PERFECTLY and was so incredibly delicious-it tasted like Thai Takeout but honestly better. I will be adding this to favorite recipes!!
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you so much Julie!! xTieghan
Made this tonight for “self date-night in”!! It was divine! Can’t wait to make it again!
Aw that is amazing!! I am so glad this turned out so well for you, Ruth! xTieghan
This was a really yummy recipe, but it took me MUCH MUCH longer than 25 minutes to make it. Just getting the water boiling was 20 minutes (even while concurrently slicing 4 pounds of chicken breast for 20 minutes, prepping both sauces and veggies, etc. etc.). Maybe I did something wrong! (maybe I just need your kitchen!! *wink*)
But honestly, unless I had an extra set of hands or two in my kitchen, I can’t even fathom how I would be able to get this to the table in under an hour (or two-bc it honestly took me about 2.5h from starting prep to plating).
That’s not so much a critique as it is a warning to those who might expect that prep to table can be accomplished by us mere human beings!
Love your recipes, Tieghan–please keep them coming–and next time I will take the timeframe with a grain or two of salt.
You are one talented young lady, and I enjoy having new recipes to try. Thank you! <3
=)danielle
Hi Danielle! You are too kind! I am so glad you enjoyed this, and apologize it took longer than expected! I hope you continue to love recipes of mine! xTieghan
Oh em gee….. Okay, so to begin, Shay Mitchell brought me here and oh am I so thankful! She made it and I followed your page and YESSSS! Beautiful presentation and the lovely stories of how you make your creations on IG. But any how, I made this and WOW! I was blown away. I couldn’t stop eating! I didn’t even take a picture! Bummer. I was extremely impressed and all I can say is yessss! This is it! Thank you ♥️
Wow I am so glad she did!! Also, so glad you are enjoying my blog and recipes, Victoria! I hope you continue to! Thank you!! xTieghan
So yum Tieghan, thanks!
I love your recipes and photos.
Thank you so much Jess! xTieghan
Hi! Made this last night and it was absolutely incredible! Thank you 🙂
One question though re step 1. In the recipe it says to combine the spices/flour/1 tbsp oil in a bowl with the chicken. I had all my dry ingredients blended and added the oil and it immediately thickened and i had a tough time coating the chicken so had to add more corn starch and spices. Would you recommend coating the chicken in the oil first and then dredging each piece in the dry spice/flour mixture?
Hi Kevin,
So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Yes you could easily do that as well! Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I made this tonight and it cam out very delicious!
Thank you so much Ozlem! xTieghan
We made this tonight with a few tweaks. Buttery creamy noodles are not my cup of tea, so we just added the garlic to the sauce and served it over jasmine rice. Very good that way. I bought roasted cashews by mistake, but I don’t think it affected the end result too much. We used just one teaspoon of black pepper, but next time I think we’ll use less crushed red pepper flakes and slightly more black pepper. We felt like the red pepper overpowered the black pepper, and since black pepper is in the name we want that to come through a little more. We used basil (as opposed to cilantro) and really liked that.
Hi Joni! Love the idea of it over rice, I am sure that is amazing as well! Also, I hope you love this more with a bit more black pepper! Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with! xTieghan
Absolutely phenomenal recipe. It had so many great flavors, and while a little involved it was quick to make. I also didn’t have broccoli but substituted some carrots and yellow peppers instead as suggested. The lime at the end in the sauce and then making the coconut garlic noodles just put this a step above. I also have been looking for amazing recipes that are easy to incorporate baby lead weaning into. I gave my daughter the chicken (without the honey soy sauce) and steamed up some of the same carrots I used separately.
Hi Rachel! That is so great! I am glad this recipe turned out well for you and for your daughter! Thank you for trying it! xTieghan
This was AMAZING! You’re recipes are so delicious. This is our 6th recipe in the last 20 days. We look forward to dinner when your recipe is on the menu. Thank You!
Thank you so much Alena! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
We made this last night and this was our first time trying Thai flavors. We made one recipe with the broccoli and one recipe with yellow peppers as a swap for the broccoli as suggested. The whole family loved it!
Amazing!! Thank you so much Becky! I am glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Great recipe, Tieghan. The black pepper gave it enough spice and heat without the red pepper, even for my husband, a/k/a Mr. Fussy. I didn’t have any broccoli so used what I had—slivered snap peas, bell pepper, mushrooms—and it worked well. The flavors are subtle but have depth. I let the chicken sit in the spices for 15+ minutes. I had fried rice to use up so served it with that. Next time I will make the rice noodle.
I am so glad you were able to use what you have!! Thank you so much Marlene! xTieghan
My noodles never go to that level of sauciness/creaminess compared to the picture you have of just the noodles. It felt like it barely soaked them and absorbed really quickly when it did. The recipe still turned out well, but I’m wondering if you know why? I used 1/3 coconut milk, the 3 TBSP of butter, and garlic. Then tossed with the 8oz of rice noodles.
Hi Drew,
You can always add more coconut milk and seasonings depending on your desired level of sauciness. Hope this helps! xTieghan
Hi! Looking to make this tonight. Is it 8oz of dry or cooked rice noodles? Thanks!
Hi J! You cook the noodles separately at the beginning using the package directions! I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Can the cashews be replaced with a bit free option?
Hi Deanna,
You can use something else that you enjoy or simply omit the cashews. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Better than takeout!! We loved it, my fiancé said he would give it 500 stars if he could 🙂
Wow that is so amazing!! xTieghan
Another hit from HBH! The flavors on this are TO DIE FOR. I used the noodles from a couple random pantry packets of ramen, left out the packets obviously. Delish! Will definitely make again.
Wow love that!! Thank you so much Ashley! xTieghan
Ok. Hello new favorite recipe! Absolutely loved this recipe! So good and so easy! I swapped out the noodles with a coconut rice and added sesame covered cashews from Trader Joe’s for the crunch and was in heaven! Perfect easy recipe! And soooo good!!
Yes that is so amazing!! Thank you so much! xTieghan
I made this tonight and it was delicious! A unique combination of flavors that worked so well together. I realized I was out of turmeric mid way through the recipe but it was still great! It admittedly took me longer than 25 minutes but I would definitely make again!
I am really glad you gave this one a try and it turned out really well for you, Kristin! Thank you so much! xTieghan
made this tonight and it was TO DIE FOR!!!!!! the lime made it taste delightfully fresh. continue creating authentic recipes like this one!
Thank you so much Savannah!! xTieghan
25 minute ?
The peeling, slicing, chopping, and the cooking took me FOUR HOURS.
And left me with a sink overflowing with dirty dishes and utensils.
It was delicious, tho.
Hi! I am really sorry about that. I am glad this still turned out well for you though! xTieghan
i’m a “throw everything in the oven on a sheet pan” kind of girl. so, while this recipe was easy to do, to me, this recipe had a lot of moving parts. the stakes were high and i did not want to put all the effort of mixing bowls and dirtying three pots to make this meal only for it to not be that good. well, the effort was WELL WORTH IT. this is better than a lot of take-out/restaurant meals. very flavorful and lots of dimension. i’m making this a go-to meal. i wanted to lick the bowl and wish i had made double! 🙂
I am so glad this was worth it!! Thank you so much for trying this one Keke! xTieghan
Loved it !
Very nice flavours and super crispy chicken. It made me feel like I was in Thailand eating a pad thai.
It took me double the time to cook it but that’s normal when you do a recipe for the first time and I would say that it’s double the calories also.
Hi Aurore! I am glad you enjoyed this recipe! Thank you so much for trying it! xTieghan
This was a really nice dish. I followed it exactly with the exception of the broccoli (I charred some string beans). It was delicious but my opinion was that the lime overtook all the flavor. I will definitely make this again and leave out the lime (or reduce by 1/2). Thank you for sharing your recipes! I just ordered your cookbook on amazon yesterday!
Ah that is so amazing to hear! I hope you love the cookbook, Amy! Thank you for trying this dish! xTieghan
WHAT IS THE GREEN LACY GARNISH IN THE PHOTO?
Hi Jenny,
I used some micro greens! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Really quite good!! I used Thai Chilli Lime Cashews from Trader Joe’s and it paired together very nicely. I’d be interested to pair the chicken with rice too.
Thank you so much Katharine! xTieghan
This recipe is OBNOXIOUSLY good! omg the flavors!! and so easy 🙂
Haha that is so great to hear! Thank you Jennifer! xTieghan
Wow, this may be the best recipe I’ve made of yours and I’ve made a lot. It’s so flavorful and tastes as good as any restaurant. The charred chicken and the honey sauce with the coconutty noodles. You nailed this one, Tieghan.
Aw you’re too nice! Thank you so much Michael! xTieghan
This was delicious! I actually had to make a few substitutes because I didn’t have everything but based on how it came out I am SO excited to try it with all the ingredients!
I used curry instead of turmeric, almonds instead of cashews and milk instead of coconut mile
Love that!! Thank you so much Samatha! xTieghan
I LOVE this recipe! The first time I made it, it took me considerably longer than 25 minutes, but I made it again tonight and including prep, knocked it out in 30 minutes flat. I skipped on measurements, opting to eyeball amounts to save time and dishes, and am pleased to find the recipe is forgiving. I like a little extra cracked pepper with the chicken, and a little extra garlic in the noodles. The flavors complement each other so well, and the leftovers heat up great (though there’s not much left after day 1!) This is definitely a new house favorite!
Thank you so much Erin!! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you all!! xTieghan
Delicious! So flavorful, smelled good while cookin and just the right amount of spice/heat. Will make again. Definitely took more than 25 mins, but now I’ve made it once I think it’ll go faster next time. Would love a suggestion of what to do with the other 2/3 cup of coconut milk!
Thank you so much for trying this! I am really glad it turned out so well for you, Dana! xTieghan
New to your website and I love your selection of recipes. It has provided lots of inspiration during this time. Among the new recipes we have tried was this Black Pepper Chicken. I enjoyed it. Unfortunately, my family didn’t. Oh well. But I did want to comment on two things … This isn’t a 25 minute recipe. Not including prep time. It certainly does cook up quickly, but I can’t really see cutting up the chicken, the broccoli, the garlic, etc. and cooking it in 25 minutes.
Hi Marla! I am really glad you enjoyed this one! I hope your family loves others of mine! xTieghan
Would ground chicken work with this recipe?
Hi Courtney,
Yes ground chicken would work! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
So delicious! This was our very first HBH recipe and it did not disappoint. The combination of flavors was lovely. The quality is just like going out to a restaurant. Thank you!
That is so amazing to hear! Thank you Jen! xTieghan
Delicious! Made exactly as described but used green beans instead of broccoli. Making this tonight for the 2nd time in a week – a nice light meal and is a great way to use up fresh herbs
Wow I am so glad you are loving this recipe!! Thank you so much Natalie! xTieghan
This recipe is SO good and SO simple! Definitely tastes like a take out dish without the guilt! Adding this into rotation of our meals!!
Thank you so much Natalie! I am so glad this recipe turned out so well for you! I hope you continue to enjoy! xTieghan
I just finished making this recipe for the family and everyone was raving about it!! Thank you Tieghan for always providing multiple options – I used chicken breasts, corn starch, sesame oil, cilantro and 2% milk (and the extra red pepper flakes in the garlic noodle sauce). This dish has a great bite and is definitely way better than takeout. I’m sure we will be making it again in a few weeks!
Thank you Nathalie!! I am so glad you enjoyed this one!! xTieghan
This was delish!
We are a vegan household so we had tofu instead of chicken. Everyone in the fam gave it 5 stars!!!
Love that! Thank you so much for trying this Jen! xTieghan
Easy and very flavorful. Substituted peanuts for the cashews. The lime juice and zest add nice brightness. Would also be great with rice.
That is so great to hear! Thank you so much for trying this one, Angela! xTieghan
Awesome recipe! We eat a lot of Thai takeout and it was comparable! Super yummy sauce and it made terrific leftovers.
Thank you so much Amy! I am so glad you enjoyed this one!! xTieghan
This recipe was amazing!
Thank you Sheila! xTieghan
I made this recipe for dinner today and the chicken turned out pretty good but the soup noodle broth was not so great. Maybe it’s because my coconut milk was not the best brand. It tasted really bland even after cooking it with garlic/butter and red pepper flakes. Also I had to add a lot of salt and red chili pepper to everything to give it more flavor. Overall it was pretty good though!
Thank you so much Karen! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
This recipe has already become a family favorite! I love how your recipes are always so flavorful, and this one certainly does not disappoint. The added lime juice and zest and the garlic butter noodles really put this meal over the edge of yumminess that had my family going back for seconds and thirds.
Thank you so much Kelly! I am really glad this recipe turned out amazing for you! xTieghan
Just made this tonight! It was really good! Love recipes where you can be flexible with veggies you can put in. I really like the coconut rice noodles with this dish! Thanks
Thank you so much Kime! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
another out of the park dinner. I halved the recipe and everything worked great. My butter, garlic, and coconut milk didn’t quite turn into a whole sauce, but I do always find sauce ratios can get odd when I half them. Still, so good!!!!
Thank you so much Lila! I am so glad you enjoyed this one! xTieghan
Hi! First of all, i LOVE your recipes. Secondly, you always reply to me on IG which I really appreciate and it always makes my day! I’ve made this recipe like 5 times already because I love it that much! So easy and incredibly tasty. I do have one question regarding your recipes in general, when you say 1 shallot or 2 shallots, do you mean the entire thing or just 1 clove of the shallot? I’m assuming you mean the entire thing and that is what I do. Just wanted to clarify! Thank you and thank you for creating fun + different recipes 🙂
Hi Andrea,
Thanks so much for your kind message, I am so glad you are loving the recipes. When I say one shallot I am referring to one clove of the shallot. I hope this helps! xTieghan
I left out all the red pepper flakes so that my little monsters wouldn’t complain about it being too spicy. Me & the hubs just added it to our individual plates and it was just as good. We used red peppers instead of broccoli because that’s what i had on hand. Took less than 30 minutes from start to finish. Everyone loved it. We will be making this regularly.
I am really glad this turned out so well for you all, Mary! Thank you!! xTieghan
So the 25 minutes is after you’ve trimmed and sliced the raw chicken and measured everything out right? No chance prep time of 10 minutes is accurate. Why are all online recipes like this?
Hi Jason! I apologize if this recipe takes you longer than the suggested time. I try to do an estimate of how long it takes.. I hope you still try this! xTieghan
This was a quick, delicious and satisfying meal. I made it vegan by using soy curls and that worked very well for this recipe. I’ll definitely make this again. Thanks Tieghan!
Thank you Rhea! xTieghan
25 minutes my ass.
Hi Justin! I apologize if this took you longer than expected. Is there anything I can do to help? xTieghan
This looks amazing, can’t wait to try! I wanted to ask if the nutritional information was for the chicken alone or a serving of the chicken and the noodles? thanks so much
Hi Shreya! I am glad you like this and I hope you try it! I do not have the nutritional information for this, unfortunately. I would suggest putting the ingredients into an online calculator and dividing by the serving size. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
SO GLAD I MADE THIS!!! Husband isn’t usually a fan when I try to make anything Asian, but he LOOOVED this!! We love all of your recipes!!
I am so glad you both loved this one, Stephanie!! Thank you! xTieghan
OMG this was amazing! Loved it….
Thank you so much Helen! xTieghan
Lovely flavors! Subbed in red onion for shallot and whole wheat noodles for rice noodles based on what I had. Turned out well!
Thank you for trying this Anjali! I am really glad it turned out so well for you! xTieghan
It’s was amazing. There was only a tiny bit of leftovers, so I put it a rice paper wrap with veggies and cilantro like a fresh roll. It was also delicious
I am really glad this turned out so well for you, Raina! Thank you! xTieghan
Will be making again for sure!! As you say SO GOOD! Made with my best friend while I’m in Barbados and she is in Canada over Zoom. Perfect way to spend a Thursday evening while we can’t drink wine together 🙂
Aw that is so sweet! I am so glad you both enjoyed this recipe, Maggie! Also, how is it there?? Should it be my next trip?? xTieghan
Thank you for this recipe it was delicious. I changed a few small things. I used Casava flour instead of corn flour. I added an onion, chilli and garlic to the vegetables and I used white basmati rice instead of noodles. It was a winner, I will definitely be making it again.
Thank you so much Miche! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you!! xTieghan
I made this recipe this week and we all loved it! The chicken is DELICIOUS! I doubled the recipes but left the honey at the original amount. Will definitely be making again and will try it with basil instead of cilantro. Thank you for another GREAT recipe!!!
Thank you Sarah!! I am so glad this turned out so well for you!! xTieghan
This is one of my favorite recipes, and i make it frequently. The noodles compliment the chicken perfectly! Please post more, Thai,Asian, Chinese recipes!! Love reading your blog!
Thank you so much Johanna!! I am so glad you enjoyed this one! Definitely more in the future! xTieghan
Hi! Loved this recipe!
Just out of curiosity, are the noodles meant to have a strong coconut taste? I used full cream coconut milk and was wondering if normal coconut milk would have been better?
Thank you!
Hi Sarah,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe! I do recommend and the recipe calls for coconut milk, so you probably got a stronger flavor from using the coconut cream. I hope this helps! xTieghan
I substituted shrimp for the chicken and white rice. All flavors were awesome!!!
That is so great to hear! Thank you Amber! xTieghan
This was amazing. So quick and easy. Had mushrooms and red peppers with capellini and we inhaled it Another winner from HBH.
Sounds amazing! Thank you for trying this one, Jane! xTieghan
So delicious! Been craving this since first making it a few weeks ago; it’s definitely going in our heavy rotation. The flavors are so bright and keep you coming back for more — and I like that it’s pretty healthy, too!
That is so great to hear! I am really glad this turned out so well for you, Kaitlin! Thank you! xTieghan
Thai black pepper chicken & noodles has been my husband’s favorite during my Pandemic HBH Cooking Frenzy. Who knew coconut milk was a game changer in our kitchen? We love the recipe with Udon noodles when rice noodles aren’t on the grocer’s shelves. Thanks Tieghan!
Love that!! Thank you for trying this one, Tal! I hope you continue to love my recipes! xTieghan
Loved this recipe! It was a unique take on Thai flavors – it wasn’t really a curry but once the chicken/veggie mixture was added to the coconut milk noodles the sauce formed a flavorful curry… so good! I especially loved the use of lime zest. It added so much extra citrus that the lime juice alone wouldn’t do!
Thank you so much Sarah! That is really great to hear! xTieghan
I’ve made this now twice in past month – and I rarely repeat recipes in such close proximity. Such an easy and super flavorful dish! Thanks for sharing! So so yummy! Now – do I get a second helping or save leftovers for lunch? 🙂
I am so glad you loved this Lizzie!! Thank you for trying it! xTieghan
This was absolutely delicious. I made it exactly as written, and the only thing I would change works be to double the amount of noodles and garlic butter-coconut milk sauce. My husband commented that he’d like to try it with shrimp instead of chicken, so I’ll probably do that sometime too. Can’t wait to make this again!
I am so happy to hear that! I hope you both continue to love this one, Bethany! And with shrimp!! xTieghan
I made this last night for dinner and it was a huge hit! Sadly, there was nothing left for my teenage boys to have as their midnight snack. I do not eat chicken and ended up cooking a separate pan of shrimp (using the same coating) and it was fabulous! Nice and crunchy…my husband actually liked it better than the chicken:)
I am so glad this turned out amazing!! Thank you so much for trying it Maribeth! xTieghan
This recipe tasted OK- I really wish you would segment your recipes more so each step has its own bullet. It’s very easy to misread and not complete everything.
Also, I don’t think the last step of melting the butter and garlic is necessary- it didn’t add much to the flavor and created another dish to wash.
Hi Allison! I am sorry about that. Are there any questions I can help with? xTieghan
Delicious flavor combo with the chicken spices and garlic noodles and lime! Another winner with the hubs too!
Thank you Paige! That is so great to hear! xTieghan
Made this for dinner last night, last minute, and it was delicious!!! Subbed thin spaghetti noodles for rice noodles and apple cider vinegar for the rice vinegar based on what was in my pantry. Will definitely be making this again!
That is so great! Thank you Trish! xTieghan
This is absolutely delicious! I was initially skeptical about the variety of spices and flavors mixed together. But one bite and I was in love. It it so so tasty. My family loved it too
That is so great! Thank you Michelle! xTieghan
This recipe was amazing! My husband said hands down his favorite meal I’ve cooked! Thank you! We love trying your recipes!
Thank you so much Danielle!! I am really happy to hear that! xTieghan
This is Soo yummy!! Your recipes are a quarantine staple in our house!
I am so glad you have been loving them! Thank you Brittany! xTieghan
Made this for dinner tonight. Delicious! Thanks, Tieghan!
Love that!! Thank you Lauren! xTieghan
Made this yesterday and it’s DELISH. So flavourful and filling. (Even the leftovers are bright and fresh.) Thanks so much for sharing! I love that your recipes are so yummy but mostly use pantry staples — it’s a big reason why I keep coming back to your blog. I’m going to order you cookbook now 🙂
Thank you Clare!! I am so glad this turned out so well for you! Also, I hope you LOVE the books!! xTieghan
Loved this recipe. Not sure if I’m a slow cook but it took me more like 40 mins. My chicken didn’t brown as nice as yours, how high was your heat? Overall absolutely delicious. Will make this again!
Hi Lucero,
Thanks for giving the recipe a try. I used medium heat and the cast iron skillet is key for nice coloring. I hope this helps! xTieghan
This was sooo fab! Incredibly easy, as promised, and completely delicious. I have a very fussy husband and he declared it “the biggest stir fry hit yet!”. Thanks for sharing and adding another favourite to our meal table! Xx
WOW YES!! I am so glad this turned out so well for you, Polly! Thank you so much for trying it! xTieghan
So good! Another favorite added! Love making everything by hand versus a bottle sauce!
Thank you Alicia!! xTieghan
Hi! We made this tonight and loved it! So tasty, the creamy butter garlic sauce on the noodles took it to another level, delicious 😋
Thank you so much Claire!! I am really glad you enjoyed this one! xTieghan
The layers of flavor on this dish are insanely delicious! The whole family (hubby and 3 kids) inhaled this, giving many compliments as they did so. I have made SO many of your recipes and have never been disappointed. HBH is my first, and often only, stop for weekly meal planning. Perfection on this one.
Thank you so much Jodi! I am really glad you enjoyed this! xTieghan
Teigan, this was one of my favorites! I cook A LOT of your recipes and I am quite a fan, buy this is one of the best I’ve made! There are so many flavors and they all work together beautifully. I wouldn’t have put it together on my own, but I trusted your good judgement (as always) and it was phenomenal. Can I praise it more? Thank you, thank you!
You are too sweet! I am really glad this turned out so well for you, Amy! xTieghan
My sister made this a few times and I became OBSESSED with it so I have to make it myself! The only thing is, my partner can’t eat cashews as she has a nut allergy. I’m not sure if this has been asked already but do you have any substitute suggestions for the cashews? I just love the extra flavour and crunch they bring! Many thanks, will be trying lots more of your recipes in my new kitchen! 🙂
Hi Fiona,
So glad you have been enjoying the recipe! I would just omit the cashews and then adding a crunchy veggie like carrots would be a great idea! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
So tasty! Made this tonight and everyone is very very happy and eating seconds! It took me a little longer to get it prepped and going but worth it!
Thank you so much Rikki! xTieghan
Damn, this was good. Thanks for the fun recipe! Will definitely make again.
Thank you so much Anneke! xTieghan
Hi Tieghan!
Do you think tofu would work as a sub for the chicken? If it’s drained for a bit first? Mostly vegetarians in my fam so Instead of just passing over the recipes with chicken in the title, i try to use Some other plant based protein. Thank you for inspiring me!
Hi Wendy,
Yes tofu would be a great option! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Made this for dinner tonight. It got rave reviews all around. So flavorful. Definitely will make again and again!
Thank you so much Liz!! I am really happy to hear how well this turned out for you! xTieghan
So delicious! Everyone loves this one!
Thank you so much Nicole! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
I made this for dinner last night, and I loved it! It‘s SO flavorful and super easy to make. Adding butter, garlic and coconut milk to the rice noodles was a wonderful touch. I’m already looking forward to making this recipe again!
Thank you so much Melaina! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
This recipe was FANTASTIC. Maybe a dumb question, but how do you make the chicken crispy? Mine wasn’t very crispy at all and when I added the sauce that all went out the window. No biggie because it was so delicious!
Hi Tanya,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe, I am so glad you enjoyed! I find that using a cast iron skillet is key when making the chicken crispy. I hope this helps! xTieghan
Tieghan this is so good girl! I made it tonight but subbed rice and Spicy Honey for an extra kick! I’m adding this one to my make again collection! Thanks girl for another meal that’s out of the park!
Thank you Tiara!! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
WoW ! I just try this reciepe and it’s so good, perfectly spicy and soooo tasty!! We really love your reciepes, it’s always a succes at home !! Thank you
Thank you so much Carolyn! xTieghan
I made this for dinner tonight but inhaled it too quickly for a picture!! Used pine nuts as they were on hand and topped with cucumber for freshness 🙂 seriously so tasty and the chicken came out wooonderful!! Thanks for this easy recipe 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you for trying this Sophie!! I am really glad you enjoyed! xTieghan
First bite blew me away! Yum!
Thank you Julie! xTieghan
This just became a new family favorite! The flavors in this are so amazing and delicious! It is a quick and easy weeknight meal!
Thank you so much Kristen! xTieghan
I adore this recipe. But the calorie count is wayyy off. Three Tbsp oil and three Tbsp butter on top of noodles, chicken and everything else…
Hi Lindsay! Really sorry about that. I will recheck it! xTieghan
I make your recipes at least 3x a week and this one is my new favorite (although they’re all great). So good!
Thank you so much Val! xTieghan
So I made these tonight and we loved them! The only issue I ran into was my noodles. Not sure if I cooked the rice noodles wrong or what but it was basically just a meshed up block of noodles at the end. Still delish though!
Thank you so much Maeghen!! I am so glad this turned out so well for you! Please let me know if I can help with the noodles! xTieghan
Do you think this would work well with ground chicken?
Hey Stephanie,
Yes you could use ground chicken for this recipe! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Absolutely delicious! It did take closer to 40min with chopping all the vegetables (I like to set up an organized mise en place) but it was totally worth it. Definitely going on the regular rotation!
Thank you so much Veronica!! I am so glad you loved this! xTieghan
This was excellent! Great flavors. I didn’t have cashews, so I skipped them. Used cilantro in place of basil because it’s what I had already. Did extra coconut milk since we weren’t eating immediately. Would 100% make this again (plan to do that with all of the ingredients next time) and already looking forward to leftovers!!
Hi Nicole! I am so glad this turned out so well for you! Thank you so much for trying it!! xTieghan
I am dying to try this recipe! I have bean thread noodles on hand… will they be a good substitute for rice noodles or should I try to get rice noodles instead?
Can’t wait to try this as I have everything else on hand!
Hi Mika,
Any noodles that you enjoy will work for this recipe! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
SO good. Have to say that I did it feel that the noodles really needed any sauce as it was just delicious without more saucing (and another pot to clean up) but truly a delightful recipe that we will make again. I wish we had more leftovers but it was too good not to finish !!
The family didn’t like this recipe at all. Very heavy on the turmeric. It did not taste like thai flavors. We do eat a lot of thai food.
Hi Cee! I am sorry to hear that! Is there anything I can help you with! xTieghan
This dish is delicious! So much flavour and easy to make!!
Thank you so much Samantha! xTieghan
I made this a couple weeks ago and it as DELICIOUS! If I make it again, do you think I could substitute your coconut rice recipe (from your recent “Thai Basil Sesame Chicken” recipe) instead of the noodles, just to try something different?
Hey Lola,
So glad you have enjoyed this recipe! Yes, the coconut rice would be so delish with this dish! xTieghan
Hi! Could I blanch the broccoli first? I’m making this for my two year old and he doesn’t like crunchy broccoli. Thanks!
Hey Christina,
Absolutely!! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I wanted to let you know I made this recipe, but I made it vegan. It came out so fantastic, I’m sure just as good as the non-vegan version.
Yes!! I am so happy to hear that Deborah! Thank you so much! xTieghan
Flavour was great. I added a little extra chilli flakes, overall really enjoyed this.
Thank you so much Sharon! xTieghan
My new favorite HBH by far!! I did Sambal instead of red pepper flakes. I’ll be making this weekly!
Wow that is amazing! Thank you Megan! xTieghan
This recipe is great! my boyfriend and cousin loved it when I made it for them 🙂
Thank you so much Brooke! I am so happy to hear that! xTieghan
Is the amount of chicken correct? 1lb seems like a low amount for 4 people (or 2 pounds for 8 people, and so on).,.
Hey Traci,
Yes this is correct. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
So yummmmm!!!
Thank you Taylor! xTieghan
Hi! I made this got the 2nd time tonight and it really is a delicious recipe. My one question is when I initially cook the chicken it seems that the corn starch mixture ends up coating the bottom of the pan instead of giving the chicken a ‘crisp coating’ like in your picture. First time I thought maybe the pan wasn’t hot enough but this time I made sure it was. Again the flavors were still there but any suggestions on how to avoid this?
Hey Fatima,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try. I would recommend stirring the chicken around initially so that the coating doesn’t get stuck to the pan. I hope this helps! xTieghan
I made this last night and we loved it! Easy and fun to make. It’s so flavorful, with a tiny bit of Thai kick to it.
This is going into our regular dinner rotation.
Aw I am so happy to hear that, Leslie! Thank you so much! xTieghan
Seriously so yummy & not super difficult! This has become a staple meal in our home!
Thank you so much Jamie! I am so happy to hear that! xTieghan
This was a huge hit in my house—big accomplishment, with two teens who rarely like the same thing. ☺️ It occurs to me that a bit of fish sauce might be nice in the soy mixture…just throwing that out there. Thanks for a great recipe!
Thank you so much for trying this Jacqueline!! xTieghan
This meal was sooooooo good. My husband and four children (ages 1 to 9 years) all loved it. Definitely adding this to my rotation. My only complaint is that it took me much longer than 25 minutes to make it.
I am so glad you loved this one, Ashley! I am sorry it took longer than expected, but hopefully was worth it! xTieghan
I used to teach English in Thailand, so I tend to be really picky about Thai recipe recreations. I followed this to a “T” last night because I know all of your recipes are incredible, and it was SO good. Well done! I am going to try to make my way through all of your Thai recipes over the next few weeks!
Thank you so much Teryn! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
I made this as instructed having never made any “Thai” dish. It was delicious! My husband and I had to get seconds (something I *rarely* do). Leftovers heated well the next day. Yum!
I am so happy this turned out so well for the both of you! Thank you so much Leslie!! xTieghan
This was the Spiciest dish I’ve ever eaten..delicious in all other aspects..I will cut the red and black pepper in(at least)half next time. Absolutely worth making again..just too much pepper
Hi Nancy! I am sorry about that! I hope you enjoy this more with less spice! Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help! xTieghan
Hi Tieghan, I recently started following your blog. Not sure what cave I was living in before but I’m so glad I found your recipes. I tried this recipe last weekend as a way of trying more Asian style cooking. It was amazing and I was impressed by how simple it was to make. I’m going to be religiously scouting your blog and try more recipes. Thank you so much!
Love that this turned out so well for you, Sikriti! Thank you for trying it! xTieghan
This recipe is incredible! I used cauliflower as my veggie and, since I didn’t have any pasta, used rice to pair with the chicken. I think this is the best chicken dish I’ve ever made!
Thank you Ky! xTieghan
this is so easy to make and so delicious! Thank you!! just something I learned about the noodles. If you put them in room temp water for about 10 min before cooking them, they don’t get mushy. It actually really works!
Thank you! I am so happy this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
This is hands down one of the tastiest meals I’ve made in quite some time. Bursting with flavor and a blast to make with my boyfriend, who was sous chef for the evening! Took me a bit longer than 25 minutes, BUT we made extra so there are plenty of leftovers and WELL worth it 🙂
Thank you!!
Thank you so much Lindsey! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you both! xTieghan
This recipe was INCREDIBLE. The entire house was raving about it!
Wow so happy to hear that! Thank you Trista! xTieghan
This was my first time making anything considered “Thai,” and it was a hit. My husband and I both went back for seconds and were soooo stuffed which isn’t how we normally eat. It was THAT good. It also reheated perfectly. I made the recipe exactly how it was written and will again and again and again…. 😉
Amazing! I am really glad this recipe was a success for you! Thank you for trying it Leslie! xTieghan
Amazingly delicious recipe! Made exactly according to directions except for cashews (just never have them on hand). The chicken is perfectly seasoned (I opt for 1tsp black pepper) and the noodles, omg the noodles… never in a million years would think to add the coconut milk but it is soooo good. Does take me longer than 25 min but I’ve made it so many times now I seem to get faster lol! Honestly, this is so good I would make it even if it took an hour
I am so happy you enjoyed this recipe, Jenny! Thank you so much for trying this one! xTieghan
This is a super yummy dish ….thanks !
Thank you Naseem! xTieghan
I just made this recipe! Loved the flavors. The garlic noodles were delicious! I decided to sub out the chicken for tofu, highly recommend!
Thank you so much Jenn! I am really glad you enjoyed this recipe! xTieghan
I subbed in rice for the noodles, but this was seriously so good!! All five kids gobbled up every last shred, I’m gonna have to make a double batch next time.
I am so happy you loved this one, Jodi! Thank you so much for trying it! xTieghan
My husband loves thai dishes, so I stumbled on this recipe while trying to re-create a favorite dish of his from a local restaurant. This has become my go-to quick dinner recipe. It’s delicious and so easy to make. I double the sauce and broccoli and sub tofu for chicken, so I like that it’s easy to customize to our diet. I usually double the noodles as well (omg they are so good) and then use the leftover noodles as a base for Mandarin Chick’n from the freezer aisle (another easy meal!).
Hi Jen! I am really glad you have been loving this recipe!! Thank you so much for trying it! xTieghan
Are the noodles supposed to be hot or cold? (Sorry if I missed this somewhere!)
Hey Julie,
You want your noodles to be hot. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
My family devoured this! So quick for a weeknight dinner!
Thank you so much Dayna!! xTieghan
I made this a while back and it was perfect. But tonight when I made it, it was missing something. Afterward, I realized that in the text you call for fish sauce, but it is not in the directions. So, I can’t remember if I added it in on my own last time, or if it has been removed since?
Hey Toni,
So sorry for the confusion, there is not any fish sauce in this recipe, but you may have added it on your own wish was probably tasty. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This looks so good! I can’t wait to try it. If I don’t have rice noodles and can’t get them, what would you recommend for a substitute? Rice? Raman? A different noodle?
Hey Sara,
Any noodles you enjoy will work here! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions. Happy Thanksgiving! xTieghan
Hello! Love your recipes! I would like to try this one with tofu instead of chicken. Do you recommend that I basically follow the same steps as for the chicken? Or would you change something? Thank you!
Hey Carole,
I would follow the recipe as is. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions. Happy Thanksgiving! xTieghan
This is the first great meal I’ve made since being pregnant and it was phenomenal. So delicious! I subbed sliced carrots and onions for the veg. And a clementine instead of a lime.
Hey Lena,
Thank you so very much for trying the recipe! xTieghan
Made this tonight and it’s amazing! Took me a little longer than 25 minutes, but worth every minute!
Thank you so much Stefanie! xTieghan
I made this for dinner tonight. It was amazing. The lime and basil at the end just elevate the whole dish. Yum!
Thank you so much Susan! xTieghan
Delicious weeknight dinner! Such amazing flavor, I swear it tasted like takeout!
Thank you so much Lily! xTieghan
Have tried many Thai recipes, but this is one of the best. Used 2 tsps of coarse black pepper,such a great flavor. The butter adds a whole new dimension! Love it!
Thank you so much Lynn! xTieghan
Made this yesterday And my daughter and zi had leftovers for lunch Excellent
Thank you so much Marie! xTieghan
Yum! Made this tonight with leftover turkey from thanksgiving (already cooked), red and yellow bell peppers and soba noodles; what I had on hand. It turned out so good! Absolutely delicious! Thank you for another great recipe!
Thank you Callie! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Can you pre-make everything besides the noodles the day before? I am cooking this for a family but want to do most of the work for them while it still tastes fresh, etc. any ideas on that?
Hey McLain,
Sure that should work! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions. Happy Holidays! xTieghan
Wow. This is amazing amazing amazing. Just the right amount of spice. So much flavor! Loved it!!
Thank you so much Beth! xTieghan
It’s a running joke in my house when we make a “fast” HBH dinner. This 25 minute recipe took me 2 hours. 😆 They almost always do. It’s also nowhere near 270 calories. It’s going to be much higher. That said, this was good! I made the recipe as is, and as we often find, it needed puked back just a bit. It was just almost too much going on. Maybe I used too much lime. We are a big flavor family who loves Thai and Indian food, and we love your recipes because of the flavors, but the chicken was just close to too much. Maybe I reduced too much, had a particularly juicy lime,etc, but this happens a lot on HBH. I will definitely make this again with some tweaks and be prepared with more time.
Hi Erin! I am glad you enjoyed this recipe! I apologize that it took longer than expected. If there is anything. I can help with, please let me know! xTieghan
My one year old twins loved loved loved the chicken! They kept asking for “more chick”!
My husband and I enjoyed the meal too, despite my poor job of cooking the noodles. They were either crunchy or too soft. We’re going to eat the leftovers with rice instead.
Thank you so much Mollie! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
This recipe has become a staple in our house (along with a few others so far after newly discovering HBH). I am not the greatest of cooks but Tieghan’s recipes are easy to follow and come out sooo sooo delicious. Her easy and delicious recipes make me feel like I am a gourmet cook! Love Love Love!
I am really glad you enjoyed this recipe and others of mine! Thank you so much Claire! xTieghan
I don’t think I’ve ever made a better quick dinner from a website in my entire life. I’m serious. This is so good. Definitely make it. Husband loves it too. I’m amazed.
Hi Katie! I am so happy this turned out so well for you! Thank you for trying it! xTieghan
This was delicious! Just made it tonight!
Thank you Sheila! xTieghan
Loved this recipe! Wouldn’t change a thing!
Hey there,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am glad it was a hit! Happy Holidays! xTieghan
Absolutely delicious! Took longer than 25 minutes but was definitely worth it!
Hey Maygan,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am so glad it worked out for you! Happy Holidays! xTieghan
Looks delicious but I can’t eat broccoli. Is there a good substitute?
Hey Anne,
Really any other veggie that you enjoy will work! Happy New Year! xTieghan
I have never tried anything like this before! I was stuck in a rut of always making the same meals but for 2021 my goal is to try to branch out and try new things. I think I’m going to be trying everything from your hbh super simple cookbook and your website! 😜 absolutely delicious would 100% make again. XO
Hey Cassidy,
Thank you so much for giving the recipe a try, I am so glad it was enjoyed! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Everything about this dish as a finished recipe is absolute PERFECTION. It’s so delicious…and the flavors are so perfectly layered. It tastes clean, but hearty, and savory with only a tiny bit of bright and sweet. The recipe as published is for 4 … but it’s so completely delicious that I’d recommend doubling it. Everyone wants seconds!
My tip is to really read through the recipe and prepare everything before you start cooking. Miss your spices, chop your chicken and broccoli and herbs, etc. The recipe cooks quickly so just make sure you prep everything ahead so it’s not stressful as you prepare it.
100% amazing ❤️
Hey Heidi,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am so glad it was enjoyed! Happy New Year! xTieghan
This was absolutely amazing. Originally I was nervous because although I had most of the ingredients on hand, it seemed very involved. However once the ingredients were prepped, it came together very easily! So glad I have leftovers!
Hey Caitlin,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am so glad it was enjoyed! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Would love to know the nutritional value of your recipes.
Hey Sara,
I have the estimated calorie count listed:) I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Already in love with this recipe just looking at it!😍Quick question- could I serve this with Thai sticky rice instead, or steamed rice, as I’m just not much of a noodle or pasta girl. What would you suggest?❤️I’ve been making all of your amazing recipes this month & this is definitely next in line. Truth be said, I’ve been looking for a reason to dive into a big container of cashews with abandon!😘
Hey Gia,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am thrilled it was a hit! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Whole family loves this recipe!! Had to double it for 5 people. It was easy to make but it didn’t take only 10 min for prep, even the second time.
Hey Nathalie,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Happy New Year! xTieghan
My boys LOVED this recipe! Me too! Definitely part of the many Half Baked Harvest dinner rotations…
Hey Leslie,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Happy New Year! xTieghan
This was unreal how good it was!! Although, it took me waaaay longer than 25 minutes! It was worth it though. Very, truly better than take out!!! I just have to be a better prepper ahead of time to zip through it on a weeknight! 😉
Hey Susie,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. That is so great the recipe was enjoyed! Happy New Year! xTieghan
So flavorful, we all loved it!
Thanks so much Suzanne! xTieghan
Wow! We had this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! Simple ingredients that are all pantry/fridge staples for me except cashews, so it was perfect to have on a whim. Better than takeout for sure – all of the flavor without the heaviness!!
It did take me about 45 minutes to make with slicing up the chicken, cutting the broccoli, and the rest of the prep, but I am sure it would be a little speedier next time now that I’m familiar with the process. Still worth it though!
Hey Grace,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am so glad you enjoyed! xTieghan
This was delicious! Will be my go-to next time I’m craving Thai and don’t want to spend $$$ on takeout.
Hey Justyna,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am so glad you enjoyed! xTieghan
Just checking in before making this tomorrow! Would steamed basmati or coconut rice be satisfying substitutes for the noodles?🍚❤️
Hey Gia,
Yes, either of those would be totally awesome! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if I can help in any other way! xTieghan
This recipe truly only took me 30 minutes! If you can move swiftly in the kitchen and really read through the instructions before even starting, then you can prevent it from being one of those “30 minute” recipes that really take 1 hour. I loved the coconut milk garlic noodles to go with this, it was like an asian fusion Alfredo almost?? Sooooo good. Will definitely make it again!
Hey Alexia,
I am so glad the recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for trying it out! Happy Sunday! xTieghan
Oh my goodness this was soooo good!
Hey Lauren,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Have a great week:) xTieghan
Hi There, I’m writing from the UK, my daughter (who doesn’t like to cook) has shared your amazing site with me and I am absolutely smitten, spending far too much time looking at your delicious recipes.
One question, Red Pepper Flakes? are they same as Red Chilli Flakes? I am a little confused……..
I do love the skip to Recipe option although I do love your blog and I also love the fact that I can get metric measurements as Cup measurements are always a mystery to me as we either use Imperial or Metric in the UK so thanks for that
You are certainly keeping the flavours interesting during these cold dark January lockdown days
Thank you
Kate
Hey Kate,
Yes, red pepper and chili flakes are the same thing. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
this was so good! my only issue is that i feel like your total time estimates are often unrealistic. Can’t speak for everyone but this took me 40 minutes to make and i was trying to hurry! i’d be pretty impressed if someone made this for the first time in 25 min. just taking out all 19 ingredients takes a while in and of itself…
Hey Alicia,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am glad you enjoyed it! Sorry this took you longer than expected, everyone cooks differently:) xTieghan
Loved the recipe but I think the 279 calorie count is for just the noodles? Considering a 2 oz serving of rice noodles with no sauce is already 190 calories, then add butter and garlic and that’s around your 279 calculation. I calculated 735 cals per serving for the entire meal.
Hey Lauren,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe!! xTieghan
This was so yummy! I wish I had doubled the recipe for plenty of leftovers for the weekend!
Hey Brianne,
I am thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks for making it! I hope you have an awesome weekend:) xTieghan
Delicious and easy! I served with white rice. Adjust the spiciness to your taste, Thank you T!
Hey Teresa,
I am so glad you liked the recipe, thanks for giving it a go! Happy Sunday! xTieghan
Hello! My husband doesn’t care for cashews but I wondered if I could substitute with water chestnuts? Or would that take away from the flavor?
Hey Cortney,
I think water chestnuts would be great. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Made this tonight. The prep time was more than 10 mins but cook time is pretty close to accurate. I used brown rice ramen noodles and they worked great and this part of the recipe could be prepared a bit ahead of time and just warmed gently when ready to eat. I stayed on the low end of the black pepper amount listed (1t) since this was the first time making the recipe and I think that was the perfect amount. I only used 1/2 lime to squeeze on top of stir fry mixture to see how it tasted and that was plenty to our liking. I also added a pinch of salt to the noodle mixture based on feedback from a friend who had already made the recipe. Would definitely make again. Thanks.
Hey Danita,

This recipe absolutely frigging hits. Thank you for your service
Hey Diesel,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try. I am so glad that it was enjoyed!! xTieghan
This was great, I loved the flavor. Definitely a family favorite. I used arrowroot instead of cornstarch and even used ghee instead of butter for the noodles. I still think it turned out great!
Hey Angela,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try. I am so glad that it was enjoyed!! xTieghan
This sauce is amazing! I am vegan so subbed out the chicken for tofu and it was excellent (and maple syrup instead of honey). We also used peppers and carrots as that is what we had on hand as well as brown rice instead of rice noodles. Definitely satisfies that takeout craving but even better, and healthier! Highly recommend, you will be dreaming of this sauce!
Hey Noelle,
I am so glad this recipe was enjoyed, thanks a lot for making it! Have a great weekend! xTieghan
Made this for dinner and my boyfriend said “this is my favorite thing you have ever made. 10/10”. So I guess I will making this a million more times! So delicious and easy. The sauce for the noodles really adds so much flavor! Highly recommend it!
Hey Emily,
I am thrilled you liked the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a go! Happy Sunday:) xTieghan

I am obsessed with this recipe! We make it all of the time 🙂
Hey Alyson,
I am thrilled this recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for giving it a try! xTieghan
A good recipe but the prep alone took over an hour and that was with no interruptions. :/
Hey Abby,
Sorry this took you much longer than expected, let me know if there is anything I can help with! xTieghan
My boyfriend just lost his mind over how delicious this is. And I’m right there with him! But that’s on par with all of your recipes so no surprise there!! Love it
Hey Danielle,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe, I am so glad it was enjoyed! Have a great weekend:) xTieghan
I’m not gonna lie I was a little skeptical about this recipe while cooking it because I don’t like the combination of honey and soy, but this is fantastic. The sweetness from the coconut and the acidity of the lime really make this dish delicious, the flavors balance each other beautifully. I’ll definitely be making this again!
Hey Erin,
I am thrilled you enjoyed this recipe, thanks so much for making it! Happy Sunday! xTieghan
AMAZING!! Haven’t been this pleased with a recipe in awhile. Beats take-home Thai 10/10 times.
Hey Natalie,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am thrilled that it was enjoyed! Happy Valentine’s Day❤️ xTieghan
Hubby said “This is a keeper!” Thanks for the recipe!
Love to hear this Rae! xTieghan
Made this tonight … super yummy! The lime makes it so fresh. We used baby bok choy instead of broccoli, because we had a load of it leftover from another of your recipes.
Hey Diane,
Thanks a lot for giving the recipe a try, I am delighted that the recipe was enjoyed! Happy Sunday! xTieghan
I will pay you 2,000 dollars to video tape you making this dish in “25 minutes”. My prep time alone has been over 40 minutes.
Hey James,
So sorry this took you longer than expected, everyone cooks differently in the kitchen. Let me know if I can help in anyway! xTieghan
Do you think you could use a wok to cook the chicken and broccoli or will that create the wrong texture?
Hey Nancy,
I think that should work well for you. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Love all your stuff!!!
What is this serving size?
Hey Jessica,
There is not exact serving size, I would say a bowl per person:) I hope you love the recipe, let me know how it turns out! xTieghan
Delicious every time!
Thanks so much Ali!! xTieghan
I’ve made this four times now—turns out soooo good every time! It’s also very flexible—sometimes I add more chicken, leave out the shallots if I don’t have them, swap in bell peppers for broccoli, etc. The garlic butter coconut noodles are delicious no matter which shape of rice noodle I’ve used. This is one of my top 3 HBH recipes for sure!
Hey Emily,
Thanks so much for making this recipe, I am delighted that it was enjoyed! xTieghan
This was SO good!! I love that this recipe had me trying and using ingredients I’ve never used before. It helps our family try new things! Even though I was completely inexperienced in the Thai food department, I just followed the recipe to a t, and this recipe came out perfectly! The flavors were amazing. This is the kind of thing that makes cooking exciting! I would definitely make this again!
Hey Kaitlin,
I am thrilled that this recipe was enjoyed, thank you so much for giving it a try! xTieghan
Absolutely delicious. Incredible flavors. Making this again. And again and again and again…..
Hey Meg,

Hey Dave,
I am thrilled this recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for giving it a try! 🌷xTieghan
I’ve made this one a million times and it is one of my absolute favorites! Even my picky toddler devours it. And the garlic noodles are so delicious that I crave them all the time.
Hey Megan,
I am so excited that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks a bunch for giving it a try! 💕Tieghan
This recipe is delicious. But! It’s not a “quick and easy” meal. I’m a really good cook and prep meals well. That said, even after the meal prep I found myself behind as it was all coming together.
Delicious recipe, but please fix your timenes.
Thanks for trying the recipe Ami! We all cook differently in the kitchen, this is the timing that I found to be most consistent:) xTieghan
Hi
Love your recipes. Is there any way you could provide nurrition information. We have some health issues that require careful monitoring of sodium, protein, and carbs. It would be so helpful, but I imagine a lot of work for you. Just thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask. Cheers.
Hey Lora,
So sorry, at this time I am only able to provide an estimated calorie count:) xTieghan
what’s a good substitute for turmeric? it seems to upset my stomach. thanks!
Hey Lisa,
You could use curry powder in place of the turmeric. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Made this last night (with the 1 1/2 tsp pepper) and it was fantastic. To make it healthier I added the garlic to the chicken with the broccoli, then served it over plain rice noodles. I am sure that adding coconut milk to the noodles would make it even more delicious but it isn’t necessary; the sauce is already SO good.
Thank you from Toronto, Canada!
Hey Diana,
I am delighted that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for making it! xTieghan
This recipe is not something I would normally try to make but WOW am I glad I made it! It was unbelievable. So creamy with out feeling heavy. Spicy. Savory. Sweet. And bonus my husband LOVED it as well. Thank you so much for this recipe.
Hey Samantha,
Thanks a lot for giving this recipe a go, I am thrilled that it was enjoyed!! xTieghan
This was delicious!! Highly recommended. Will absolutely cook again.
Hey Liane,
I am so glad this recipe was a winner, thanks a bunch for giving it a try! xxTieghan
I like this but it’s a bit heavy on the lime. I would start with less lime and work your way up instead of adding it all at once. It also depends on the size of the lime. Overall great flavors. Just adjust as needed!
Hey Stacie,
Happy Friday! I am delighted that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for making it! xxTieghan
