Cooking Steps
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
Once water is boiling, add noodles to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 1-2 minutes. Drain, then rinse noodles thoroughly under cold water, 30 seconds. Toss with a drizzle of oil and set aside. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!
Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and scallion whites in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, 2-4 minutes more.
Stir in sweet soy glaze, chili sauce, and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Cook until sauce has slightly reduced, 30-60 seconds.
Meanwhile, place broccoli in a large microwave-safe bowl; cover tightly with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in wrap. Microwave until broccoli is tender, 3-4 minutes.

Reviews from our home cooks
This is by far one of my favorites. I did make it different. As I work a lot, I cooked the chicken in the instapot, made the noodles, steamed the broccoli and served with the chicken mixture on top of the noodles. I added 1 chicken bullion cube and 1 cup of water to the chicken, only used half of the spice and all of the soy sauce. It would have been too spicy for us if we used all of the spices. But it was perfect this way! 10 min in the instapot if anyone is interested.
We mixed the broccoli with the chicken and didn't do the whole "bar" thing, just to cut down on the mess. Super easy, super tasty, a little salty so mind the added salt
Surprisingly good and the kiddo really appreciated being able to customize! She even ate the broccoli! More "bars", please! Maybe a pasta bar or a dumpling bar? Or rice bowl bar???
This was surprisingly so delicious! Our first time trying Hello Fresh and I guess we picked a good one. The sauce mixture was perfect, the cucumber salad was on point and a nice addition. Such a great option for a first meal try.
Easy to make. We pickled matchstick carrots to add as a topping and added potstickers as a side to round out the meal.
So GOOD!! Noodles are cheap you could send a little more. Flavor and texture is fantastic! Love that it came with a green vegetable!
This recipe has it all, vegetables, protein, sweet, zesty, and savory.
Very tasty recipe. The quality of the broccoli head was also very good, better than the pre-cut bagged type.
What a fun meal! Everything was so tasty and I was surprised at how quickly so many things came together! Thank you!!
Nice except that my noodles arrived shattered- which you can't really eat easily and the sauce is very sugary. It would be nicer with something a bit saltier or umami.
