Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Lo Mein noodles (fresh or dried, about 8 oz)
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 2 carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
Sauce & Seasonings
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente; then drain and set aside.
- Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and sauté the chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Stir-fry Vegetables: In the same pan, add the sliced bell peppers, carrots, and green onions. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked lo mein noodles, soy sauce, minced garlic, and any additional desired spices. Toss everything together thoroughly to combine and heat through.
- Serve: Serve the Chicken Lo Mein hot, optionally accompanied by extra soy sauce for added flavor.
Notes
- For extra spice, add a teaspoon of chili flakes or a dash of sriracha while tossing the ingredients.
- You can substitute chicken breasts with thigh meat for juicier results.
- If lo mein noodles are unavailable, spaghetti or linguine can be used as a substitute.
- Add additional vegetables like snap peas or mushrooms for more variety.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to keep sodium levels moderate.
