Description
A delicious and easy Chicken Lo Mein recipe that combines tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and slurpable noodles in a savory sauce.
Ingredients
- 3–4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 package Lo Mein noodles (fresh or dried)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 2 carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
Instructions
1. Start by chopping your vegetables into bite-sized pieces and cooking the lo mein noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set the noodles aside.
2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add a bit of oil, and sauté the chicken until it’s golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan.
3. In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed, then stir-fry the bell peppers, carrots, and green onions until they’re tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the lo mein noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic (plus any other seasonings you like). Toss everything together until it’s evenly mixed.
5. Plate your delicious Chicken Lo Mein immediately, and feel free to drizzle on a bit of extra soy sauce if desired.
Notes
To ensure your Chicken Lo Mein turns out perfectly every time, follow these tips:
Cook the Noodles Properly: Follow the package instructions for your lo mein noodles, cooking them until they’re al dente. Overcooked noodles can become mushy.
Use High Heat for Stir-Frying: A hot skillet or wok is essential for achieving that signature wok-seared flavor and keeping your veggies tender-crisp.
Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Work in batches if needed to prevent steaming instead of stir-frying your ingredients.
Adjust Seasonings to Taste: Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of Sriracha if you want to amp up the heat.
