Sweet and Spicy Chicken with Sesame Soba Noodles

This recipe for Sweet and Spicy Chicken with Sesame Soba Noodles is a quick and healthy weeknight meal ready in under 30 minutes thanks to rotisserie chicken.

A honey, jalapeño and cilantro sauce coats the chicken which gives it a touch of sweet and spice. All of this deliciousness sits on top of soba noodles dressed with sesame-soy sauce and then topped with extra jalapeños and diced red pepper for a delicious Asian noodle bowl.

Asian noodle bowls are one of my favorite dishes to make during the week. The noodles cook so quickly (try this 5 min soba noodle bowl) and they soak up all kind of delicious flavor combinations.

This noodle bowl is especially fast – pick up a store bought rotisserie chicken, a package of noodles, cilantro, red pepper and a jalapeño. Put it all together for a dish that is packed with complex flavors, but is a cinch to put together.

How to Make Sweet and Spicy Chicken with Sesame Soba Noodles

Sweet and Spicy Chicken on blue plateStep 1: Blend Honey-Jalapeño Sauce + combine with Chicken

Just a quick whirl in the Cuisinart is all that’s needed for this honey jalapeño sauce. Toss it in a saucepan with the pulled rotisserie chicken until heated through.

It won’t be a lot of sauce, just enough to coat the chicken.

Step 2: Boil Noodles + Toss with Sesame Soy Dressing

Any noodles will do in this recipe, but soba noodles are the best. Soba noodles are made from a blend of whole wheat and buckwheat flour which gives them a nutty taste and they are quick cooking! I can usually find these soba noodles at World Market if you have one near your house.

If you are gluten free, you can use these 100% buckwheat noodles; however, it might be harder to source these locally.

Step 3: Combine noodles and chicken. Top with extra jalapeño and red peppers. Enjoy!
