Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Red chilli flakes
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 250 grams Egg noodles
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 piece Bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 1 piece Carrot, julienned
• 2 pieces Scallions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix red chilli flakes, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the spice rub for the chicken.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 75°C/165°F).

Step 5

While the chicken is baking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 6

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the sliced bell peppers and julienned carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat.

Step 9

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the noodles are well mixed with the vegetables and sauce.

Step 10

Slice the baked chilli-crusted chicken breasts into strips.

Step 11

Serve the noodles in bowls, topped with sliced chicken, chopped scallions, and coriander leaves. Garnish with lime wedges for an added zing.
