- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Noodles and Garnish
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 8 oz egg noodles

Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts for a juicier option.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes or add a dash of cayenne pepper.
- Using low-sodium chicken broth helps control the salt levels in this recipe.
- Ensure to stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Fresh parsley adds a nice color and freshness but can be omitted if unavailable.
