Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

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

Sauces & Oils

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

Aromatics

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set them aside to prevent overcooking.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add oil and sauté the chicken breasts until they are golden brown and fully cooked through, which should take about 6-8 minutes. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers, thinly sliced carrots, and chopped green onions. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they become tender yet maintain a slight crispness.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked lo mein noodles, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Toss all ingredients together thoroughly so the sauce evenly coats the noodles, chicken, and vegetables. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to blend flavors.
  5. Serve: Serve the chicken lo mein hot. Optionally, garnish with extra soy sauce or green onions for an enhanced flavor experience.

Notes

  • Using fresh lo mein noodles yields the best texture, but dried noodles work well too.
  • For an extra kick, add a teaspoon of chili paste or red pepper flakes when tossing the noodles.
  • Feel free to customize vegetables based on preference or seasonality, such as adding snap peas or mushrooms.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked through by checking that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Low-sodium soy sauce helps control salt content, making the dish healthier.
