Chicken Lo Mein
A popular Chinese dish featuring tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and soft noodles in a savory sauce, perfect for family dinners or quick weeknight meals.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 3-4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces Lo Mein noodles (fresh or dried)
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 2 carrots (thinly sliced)
- 2 pieces green onions (chopped)
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves fresh minced garlic
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all ingredients and chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
- Cook lo mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add oil and sauté the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from skillet.
- In the same pan, stir-fry bell peppers, carrots, and green onions until tender yet crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- Return cooked chicken to the skillet with vegetables. Add lo mein noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and any additional spices. Toss everything together until well mixed.
- Serve hot with extra soy sauce if desired.
Notes
Make sure not to overcook the vegetables; they should be tender but still crisp. You can add other vegetables, such as broccoli, snap peas, or mushrooms, for even more flavor and nutrition. If you like it spicy, consider adding a bit of chili sauce or red pepper flakes when mixing in the soy sauce.
