Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Noodles

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

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

Sauce & Seasoning

  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Chop the bell peppers, carrots, and green onions into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil (such as vegetable oil) and sauté the chicken breasts until golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the bell peppers, carrots, and green onions. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3 to 4 minutes until they are tender yet still crisp.
  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 to ensure the noodles and chicken are evenly coated with the sauce and the garlic is well distributed.
  5. Serve: Serve the chicken lo mein hot. Optionally, provide extra soy sauce at the table for added flavor according to personal preference.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu or a mix of mushrooms.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content without sacrificing flavor.
  • Ensure vegetables remain crisp by not overcooking during stir-frying.
  • Fresh noodles provide a softer texture but dried noodles work well as a convenient alternative.
  • Add a splash of rice vinegar or a teaspoon of ginger for extra depth of flavor if desired.
