A flavorful and easy Chicken Lo Mein recipe featuring tender chicken breasts, crisp bell peppers, and fresh lo mein noodles tossed in a savory soy and sesame sauce. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner packed with colorful vegetables and satisfying textures.

Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Noodles

  • Lo Mein noodles (fresh or dried) – about 8 oz

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 2 carrots, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Sauce and Seasoning

  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or another neutral oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Chop the bell peppers into strips, slice carrots thinly, and chop green onions. Mince the garlic and set aside.
  2. Cook Noodles: Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain well and set aside to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil, then add the chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces. Sauté until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. Stir-fry Vegetables: In the same skillet, add sesame oil and stir-fry the red and yellow bell peppers, carrots, and green onions until they are tender but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and stir for another 30 seconds to release aroma.
  5. Combine and Toss: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked lo mein noodles and pour in the low-sodium soy sauce. Toss everything together thoroughly so the noodles, chicken, and vegetables are evenly coated with sauce.
  6. Serve Hot: Serve the Chicken Lo Mein hot, optionally with extra soy sauce on the side for added flavor.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu or extra vegetables.
  • Use fresh lo mein noodles if possible for better texture; dried noodles also work well.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity for salt preference.
  • Adding a splash of oyster sauce or hoisin sauce can enrich flavor but is optional.
  • Make sure not to overcook vegetables to keep a nice crunch.
