- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Prepare the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to keep warm.
- Heat the oil: In a pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat to prepare for cooking the chicken.
- Cook the chicken: Add the sliced chicken breast to the pan and cook until the pieces are browned on the outside and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sauté garlic: Add the minced garlic to the chicken and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Add the sauce: Stir in the soy sauce and honey, mixing well to evenly coat the chicken pieces with the sticky, flavorful sauce.
- Toss noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss everything together so the noodles absorb the sauce and chicken flavors.

- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top for a fresh and colorful garnish before serving immediately.
