Sweet Soy Glazed Chicken & Noodle Bar

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.Trim and halve cucumber lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise into half-moons. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary.

In a small bowl, combine cucumber, vinegar, 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings), a pinch of salt, and as many chili flakes as you like; set aside to pickle. TIP: Divide cucumber and pickling liquid between two small bowls; add chili flakes to one bowl and keep the other mild.

Once water is boiling, add noodles to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 5-7 minutes.Drain, then toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking; set aside.TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!

While noodles cook, open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and scallion whites in a single layer; cook, undisturbed, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Break up chicken and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 2-4 minutes.Stir in sweet soy glaze, chili sauce, and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Continue to cook until sauce has reduced slightly, 30-60 seconds.

Meanwhile, place broccoli in a large microwave-safe bowl; cover tightly with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in wrap. Microwave until broccoli is tender, 3-4 minutes. Carefully uncover (watch out for steam!) and toss broccoli with salt and pepper.
