Instructions

If you haven’t already, cook your rice noodles according to the package directions. Drain it and set it aside.
8 ounces rice noodles
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground chicken.
1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 pound ground chicken
Use a spatula to break the chicken apart as it cooks for 3-5 minutes, or until cooked all the way through.
Add the garlic chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, ground ginger, and coleslaw mix. Stir to combine. Keep the pan over medium heat and allow the mixture to cook for 5 more minutes, stirring regularly.
3 tablespoons garlic chili sauce, ¼ cup soy sauce or coconut aminos, ⅓ cup honey, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 2 cups coleslaw mix
Turn off the heat and fold or stir in your rice noodles until everything looks evenly combined. Serve and enjoy!
Store your leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat a plate of leftovers in the microwave covered with a paper plate or paper towel for about a minute, stirring halfway through. You can reheat all of your leftovers at the same time in a pan on the stove over low-medium heat until warm.

Notes

I like to top these honey garlic noodles with some freshly chopped green onions. A sprinkle of sesame seeds also goes great with this dish.
You can use ground chicken or you can use a shredded rotisserie chicken to cut down on your prep and cook time. Just add the shredded chicken to the pan with everything but your noodles and let it heat up. Then add your noodles and you are good to go!
If you want to go for more of a sweet and spicy flavor profile, then you can add a tablespoon or two of sriracha sauce to the dish.
I prefer using rice noodles, but any kind of ramen-like noodle will work great. I've also made this dish with Banza spaghetti and thought it was great.
You can add more coleslaw mix if you want to pack in some extra veggies. The way the recipe is written, it's light on the coleslaw. You can also switch the coleslaw out for thinly sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, or other stir fry veggies.
