What’s in an Asian Chicken Noodle Bake?

This dish is easy to throw together, your kids could even make it! It is for sure one of the easiest, most flavorful meals to make. Check out the recipe card for exact measurements.

Chicken Breasts: Cut 1-pound chicken breasts into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.

Spaghetti Noodles: Spaghetti noodles soak up all the delicious sauce while baking.

Vegetables: You can use any frozen vegetable medley you’d like. For this recipe, I really like to use an Asian medley.

Chicken Broth: Provides moisture so the pasta cooks while in the oven.

Soy Sauce: This umami sauce creates the flavorful base for the teriyaki sauce.

Honey & Brown Sugar: Adds the perfect sweetness and a hint of honey taste.

Rice Vinegar: Gives the sauce the perfect hint of sweetness and tanginess.

Sesame Oil: One of the key ingredients for getting a complex, rich flavor.

Ground Ginger: Adds the best punch of flavor.

Minced Garlic: Freshly minced garlic adds a wonderful savory taste.

Cornstarch: This helps to thicken the sauce.

Garnish: Before serving, top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onion for extra texture and color.

How to Make This Chicken Noodle Bake

This chicken noodle bake could not be easier! There is no need to cook anything ahead of time! Just dump everything in one pan, bake, and dinner is on the table in just over 30 minutes!

Prep: Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Then, place the uncooked spaghetti in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Add Veggies: Sprinkle the frozen vegetables over the noodles.

Add Chicken: Next, add the chicken pieces to the baking dish.

Make the Sauce: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch. Then, pour over the pasta, vegetables, and chicken. 

Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Or until the chicken is cooked through and the noodles are tender. Do not stir the noodles! They need to stay completely in the sauce to fully cook through. Enjoy with sesame seeds and chopped green onion on top!

Chicken Noodle Bake Tips and Variations

One of the best things about this meal is how easy it is to change to suit your tastes. Here are some ideas for changing a few things to make it just how you like it!

Vegetables: Use any frozen vegetable medley you like! You can also use fresh vegetables like sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini.

Protein: Substitute the chicken for pork, beef, or tofu!

Noodles: I recommend using spaghetti noodles for this recipe because the ratio of noodles to sauce is perfect. Additionally, using different noodles could affect the outcome of the recipe!

Heat: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes or drizzle sriracha sauce on top if you like a little kick!

Storing and Reheating Leftovers

Is there anything better than leftover Chinese food? This chicken noodle bake is especially good for reheating the next day!

In the Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in the fridge in for up to 5 days.

To Reheat: Warm each serving in a microwave safe dish for 30 seconds at a time until heated through.
