Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Noodles

  • Lo Mein noodles (fresh or dried) – quantity as per package instructions for 4 servings

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 carrots, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Sauces and Oils

  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Other

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: 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 to prevent overcooking.
  2. Cook chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a little oil and sauté the chicken breasts until golden brown and fully cooked inside, approximately 6-8 minutes depending on thickness. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Stir-fry vegetables: Using the same pan, add the bell peppers, carrots, and green onions. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they become tender yet still retain a crisp texture.
  4. Combine ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked lo mein noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Toss everything together thoroughly so the sauce evenly coats the chicken, vegetables, and noodles.
  5. Serve: Serve the Chicken Lo Mein hot, optionally adding extra soy sauce on the side for additional flavor according to taste.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh lo mein noodles if available, but dried noodles work well too.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs if you prefer darker meat.
  • Additions such as mushrooms, snap peas, or bean sprouts can enhance the dish.
  • If you like it spicy, add a dash of chili flakes or sriracha when tossing the noodles.
  • Low-sodium soy sauce helps keep the sodium content moderate while keeping the flavor balanced.
  • Ensure vegetables remain slightly crisp to maintain texture contrast.
