Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking.
In a bowl, mix lemon juice, lemon zest, soy sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create a marinade.
Add the chicken to the marinade and let it sit for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserving the marinade for later) and cook the chicken on each side for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through. Set the cooked chicken aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the asparagus, sugar snap peas, and carrots. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, until they are tender but still crisp.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Add the cooked noodles and toss to coat them in the sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and add it back to the skillet, tossing everything together. Season with sesame oil, salt, and black pepper.
Remove from heat and garnish with spring onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your Lemon Chicken and Spring Veg Noodles!
