Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix the chopped chicken with cornstarch, chili powder, salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, and red pepper flakes until the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken and fry for 7 to 8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan. Add a bit more olive oil if needed, then add the veggies and season with salt and black pepper. Saute for 6 to 7 minutes until softened. Remove the veggies from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan over medium heat, make the sauce by adding soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, chipotle adobo paste, minced garlic, and butter. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the cooked chicken, veggies, and udon noodles back into the pan with the sauce. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.
  • Serve your Honey Chipotle Chicken Udon hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, green onions, and toasted sesame seeds.
