A quick and delicious meal combining tender chicken, colorful vegetables, and soft noodles tossed in a flavorful sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3-4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces Lo Mein noodles (fresh or dried)
- 1 piece red bell pepper
- 1 piece yellow bell pepper
- 2 pieces carrots (thinly sliced)
- 2 pieces green onions (chopped)
Sauce and Seasoning
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves fresh minced garlic
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all ingredients and chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
- Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add oil and sauté the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet.
- In the same pan, stir-fry the bell peppers, carrots, and green onions until tender yet crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the lo mein noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and any additional spices. Toss everything together until well mixed.
Serving
- Serve hot in bowls, adding extra soy sauce or sesame seeds on top if desired.
Notes
Make sure your chicken is cooked through but not overcooked to keep it tender. Use fresh vegetables when possible for the best flavor and texture. Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli or snap peas for more variety. Adjust the amount of soy sauce to fit your taste preference.
