Description
A comforting and quick Chicken Lo Mein recipe featuring tender chicken, fresh veggies, and savory sauce clinging to springy noodles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Lo Mein noodles (fresh or dried)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 2 carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves fresh minced garlic
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive oil or butter (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
- Cook Lo Mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil.
- Add minced garlic toward the end to become fragrant without burning.
- Add the chicken and sauté until golden brown and fully cooked (about 6-8 minutes). Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers, carrots, and green onions. Stir-fry until tender yet crisp (about 3-4 minutes).
- Return the chicken to the skillet, then add the cooked Lo Mein noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, and any additional spices. Toss to combine and heat through.
- Serve hot, garnished with green onion tops.
Notes
Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness. Meal prep by storing noodles and sauce separately from crunchy vegetables.
