A liberal use of Sea Salt and Sichuan Pepper perfectly enhances my version of Chicken Broccoli Noodles. My Salt and Pepper Chicken Broccoli Noodles has a special Sichuan touch along with wonderfully crunchy Broccoli, juicy bites of Chicken, and chewey Noodles. Every ingredient completes the other with a harmonious blending of flavors and textures.
The numbing Sichuan sensation needs to be experienced to be believed. You will love it for a weeknight meal or a weekend dinner party. If you are a fan of Salt and Pepper, you might also like my Salt and Pepper Shrimp Fried Rice and Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings too.
SALT AND PEPPER MIX
For the Salt and Pepper Mix, I use Sichuan Peppercorns, Black Peppercorns, and Sea Salt. I like to toast the Peppercorns on medium-heat for about 1 minute before mixing with the Sea Salt to get the best fragrance. It is important that you use Sea Salt instead of regular Salt. The taste will not be the same if you use regular salt.
THE CHICKEN
As always, I love using Chicken leg meat. The dark meat part of the Chicken is just much juicer and tastier in my view. Of course, you can use Chicken breast as well. Marinating the Chicken will always help reserve the juiciness of the Chicken meat.

Notes
- Generously use the Salt and Pepper Mix in the dish. The more, the better the taste. There will be some leftover Salt and Pepper Mix. Reserve it in a container and use it for other dishes as you desire. Do not waste it. Once you taste this spice you will use it often.
- I use Spaghetti Noodles, but you can also use Udon or Egg Noodles.
