Ingredients

• 8 oz Wide rice noodles (or shirataki noodles for lower carbs)
• 8 oz Chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
• 1 tsp Ginger, grated
• 1 large Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1.5 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Thai basil leaves
• 3 Green onions, chopped
• 0.5 tsp Chili flakes
• 3 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 1 tsp Fish sauce
• 1 tbsp Lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Boil a pot of water and cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. For shirataki noodles, rinse thoroughly and boil for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

Step 4

Add the red bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, until they start to soften.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, chili flakes, and lime juice. Mix well.

Step 6

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, followed by the sauce mixture. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated and everything is heated through.

Step 7

Add the Thai basil leaves and green onions, and sauté for an additional minute until the basil is wilted.

Step 8

Remove from heat and serve the noodles hot, garnished with additional green onions or chilies if desired.
