• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the sliced green bell pepper, carrot, and bean sprouts to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chicken broth, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet and stir well.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mix in the green onions, and allow the sauce to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss until evenly coated with the sauce and mixed with the vegetables and chicken.

Step 10

Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Top evenly with the shredded cheddar cheese.
